Every residential valuation starts with a walk through the property. The valuer measures it, notes its condition and its faults, and then builds the figure from settled sales of genuinely comparable homes nearby. The report sets out which sales were used, how each one was adjusted and how the concluded value was reached.
The figure is built from settled sales, not from the websites.
People order residential valuations to buy with confidence, to settle a private sale between family members, to satisfy a lender or refinance, or simply to make a decision with a real number instead of a guess. The purpose shapes the report, so say what it is for when you call and the report will be built to carry it.
