Frequently Asked Questions
-
What should I expect during a valuation?
A dedicated agent will conduct an in-person valuation of your property, carefully assessing its type, layout, location, and condition. Following this meticulous evaluation, they will provide you with an assessment of your property's potential rental or sale value. They can offer expert guidance on how to maximise your property’s estimated value, and discuss tailored solutions to expedite the selling or letting process.
-
How is the value of my property calculated?
In order to work out the fair value of your property, we consider several factors, including:
- The type of property you have (detached, semi-detached, terraced, flat)
- Current demand in the area
- The general condition of the property
- Your property's location, area demographic, and transport links
- If letting, the demographic your property will attract (e.g. families, professionals, students)
- If selling, specifics of the property such as the size of the garden, available parking, whether it’s freehold or leasehold
We take pride in our unwavering transparency, ensuring you are fully informed about every aspect of our valuation process and the rationale behind your property's assessed rental or sales value. -

How much does a property valuation cost?
Like most estate agents, Portico carries out valuations for free. Be mindful that some agents may give a high valuation of your home so that you choose to let or sell with them, but this can really impact the chance of a quick let/sale, and even harm how much you eventually achieve. Always use a trusted agent with proven experience in your local area.
-
Do I need to be present at the property during a valuation?
No, you don’t but it is preferred, in case the valuer has questions. Alternatively, they can get in touch with you afterwards to gather this information.
Thank you for the feedback
From start to finish, Leigh has been absolutely amazing and even the support from her colleagues Adam and Shaun. Very accommodating, keeping us up to date with any updates on their side and even our need to view the property multiple times was always sorted for us. We can't thank Leigh and the team enough for our first home purchase.
Moiz is an excellent letting agent who provided clear communication and guidance throughout the entire letting process. I highly recommend Portico for their outstanding service
Moiz, Ahsan and Rash were fantastic, professional, responsive, and made the process of finding my new home easy and stress-free. Highly recommend these agents!!!
Moiz was a very good professional agent who helped us alot through the letting process and was very patient
After an initially bumpy start with a staff member who thankfully moved on, the team at Portico (including the new manager Federico, supported by Magdalena and Gareth) pulled out all the stops to get me a great price and steward the sale through. I cannot thank them enough. Great team. Would thoroughly recommend them.
