Market Appraisal


The starting point of any sale is establishing the correct value, and determining the asking price for your property can be complex. There are numerous factors to consider, including how quickly you need to move, the number of comparable properties on the market and the condition of your property. We offer a free market appraisal by one of our experienced Estate Agents. We also advise on the most suitable method of sale for your home including private treaty, tender or auction.

 

Probate, Matrimonial and Private Sale Valuations


Formal valuations are carried out by our senior partner, Howard Douglas, for a modest fee. Please contact us for further details.
