1
Location
One of the biggest influences on property value is where your home is located. Buyer demand, nearby schools, transport links, amenities and the local market can all affect how much a house is worth
2
Property type and size
Detached, semi-detached, terraced houses and flats can all perform differently in the market. The overall square footage, number of bedrooms and how the space is laid out will also affect valuation.
3
Condition of the property
A home in excellent condition may achieve a higher valuation than a similar property that needs updating. Kitchens, bathrooms, décor, flooring and general presentation all play a part.
4
Improvements and extensions
Features such as a loft conversion, extension, new kitchen, updated bathroom or energy-efficiency improvements can influence how much your house is worth.
5
Recent sold prices nearby
One of the clearest indicators of value is what similar properties in your area have sold for recently. These local comparisons help shape both online estimates and in-person valuations.
6
Market conditions
The wider property market also matters. Changes in mortgage rates, local demand and buyer confidence can all affect your house valuation
