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.
