A property valuation is a professional assessment of your property's worth in the current market. It is conducted by experienced valuers who assess your property based on its features, condition, location, and the current market conditions. If you're planning on selling your property, a valuation is an essential step. It helps you understand your property's worth, informs your asking price, and sets the foundation for your selling strategy.
At Hamptons, we understand that every property and every client is unique. With our personalised approach and deep market insight, we're here to guide you through the valuation process. Below, we answer some of your most frequently asked questions about sales property valuation.
What should I prepare before the valuation?
Our valuers at Hamptons are here to guide you through the process, and while a well-presented property can indeed help, it’s the property’s inherent features and the current market conditions that will primarily determine the valuation. However, here are a few helpful steps to take to prepare for the valuation:
-
Property details: Gather any relevant documents related to your property such as building plans, council rates or strata information if applicable.
- Clean and tidy: A clean and well-presented home can make a positive impression. It’s advisable to ensure your property is tidy and any clutter is cleared away before the valuation. If you have a garden, make sure it’s well-maintained.
- Maintenance: Address any minor repairs or maintenance issues such as peeling paint or leaking taps. This can present your property in the best light possible.
