The Importance of an Accurate Property Valuation – Herbert R Thomas

Date Posted: 04 October 2024

When you're thinking about selling your home or investing in property, one of the most crucial steps in the process is getting an accurate property valuation. At Herbert R Thomas, we know that navigating the property market can be a bit overwhelming, but having a trustworthy valuation gives you the solid foundation you need to make confident decisions.

 

You might wonder, "Why does an accurate valuation matter so much?" Well, it’s simple: a good valuation ensures your property is priced correctly for the current market, helping you achieve the best possible results. Overpricing your home could lead to it sitting on the market for longer than you'd like, attracting little interest. Under-pricing, on the other hand, means you might not be getting the full value you deserve. This balance is key, and that’s exactly what our team at HRT specialises in.

Arriving at an accurate marketing figure based on relevant sales information is the key to achieving the best price in a timely fashion. Market data suggests that over reaching at the initial point of marketing, wastes the ‘honeymoon period’ when online traction is at its strongest, and potential later price reductions will erode buyers confidence, potentially leading to a poor sales figure.

 

Experience you can rely on

At HRT, we’re proud to say our valuers have over 100 years of combined experience. Our team isn’t just familiar with the national property market – we know your local area like the back of our hand. Whether you’re in Cowbridge, Bridgend, Porthcawl, Neath, or Cardiff, we use this local expertise to ensure your valuation is tailored specifically to your property and its surrounding market. We don’t rely on algorithms or online tools – we bring our personal knowledge and insight to every valuation, ensuring the figure you receive is one you can trust.

Our team believes that an accurate property valuation should take into account a wide number of variables including your property’s unique features, location, and current market conditions. With our in-depth understanding of the local area and its trends, we look at everything from recent sales data to upcoming developments that might affect the value of your home.

 

Seamless selling process 

We know that selling your home can be a stressful time, so we aim to make the process as smooth as possible. Our friendly team is here to guide you every step of the way. We’ll sit down with you, talk through your goals, and explain exactly how we’ve arrived at the valuation figure. Transparency is key for us – we want you to feel confident that the price we suggest is realistic and achievable.

And, of course, we’re always available to answer any questions you may have. Whether you want to know more about current market conditions or you’re curious about the potential value of home improvements, our agents are happy to share their knowledge. We’re here to offer advice, support and a personalised service.
