Online valuation

Therefore, they should only be used as a rough guide as they are not always reflective of the best possible price you could achieve for your home. A reputable estate agents will want to view your property first hand.

After a death, you may need to get a probate valuation for a property in Coventry. You will need this in order for inheritance tax to be calculated. You can find more information on the  Government website (through HMRC).

 

Matrimonial valuations

 

Matrimonial valuations are needed during divorce or separation. Courts will use them to determine how the couple’s assets will be divided.

A qualified surveyor or valuer will carry these out.

 

Mortgage valuation

 

A mortgage or fundamental valuation usually involves a quick survey lasting around 30 minutes. It will cover any apparent problems.

A lender will estimate the value of the home you want to buy when you apply for a mortgage.

 

Retrospective valuations

 

This may be required as part of a legal proceeding and will establish the value of your home on a specific date in the past.

Things that affect the value of your home?

Entrance charm

Several studies have shown that avenues lined with trees increase property values by as much as 15%, and that residents whose homes are surrounded by trees also help to improve the quality of life in the local community. Your home’s worth can increase by as much as five percent if you have wisteria creeping up the walls of your house.

Effective utilisation of available energy

Your home’s value could increase by as much as 14% if it falls into the highest energy efficiency category. It’s time to double-check your energy provider.

Property Condition

The house’s current state will have a significant impact on the price it might eventually sell for. A home that is nearly perfect will probably fetch a considerably greater price than a similar home that requires a lot of maintenance.

To find out what could lower the value of a home (even when not sold at auction! ), look at our guide to the most typical issues with auction properties. You might utilise any issues you find to bargain for a lower purchasing price.

Nearby schools

Whether you are selling or purchasing a home that is likely to appeal to families, this is a crucial point. How well the neighbourhood schools perform will affect how much a house sells for.

As a result, it’s critical to monitor the Ofsted evaluations of the primary and secondary schools in the area. In general, the higher the Oftsed ratings, the more expensive real estate is in that area. A “SchoolChecker” is a tool that some websites, like Rightmove, include with the property details.

Infrastructure in the area

Both good and negative effects on property prices might result from changes to the local infrastructure. For instance, the high-speed railway (HS2) that is being developed is expected to affect home prices both negatively and favourably.

The increased noise may cause those who are directly behind the new line to see a decline in the value of their homes. Those who live far enough away from the line to not be inconvenienced by it but close enough to readily use it may notice an increase in their property value as commuters become more attracted to their home.

Residence Size & Number of Bedrooms

The price of your property is influenced by how you use the space, not just how big your house is overall. En-suites are thought to be very coveted, so if you have the chance to install one, you could increase the value of your home.

So while rearranging your home, be mindful to avoid losing a bedroom. Moving from a 3 bed to a 2 bed, a 4 bed to a 3, and so on, can have a detrimental impact on your property’s value and appeal to purchasers.

When it comes to bedrooms, generally speaking, the more rooms, the better, and an upstairs bathroom is a necessity. Many of the other choices, including whether or not to have an open-concept kitchen, will be based on personal desire. Before changing the layout of your home, we advise speaking with an estate agent to determine the possible impact on the value of your property.

Possibility of Improvement

Some buyers like it if they at least have the opportunity to do some work themselves, even though many purchasers are seeking for a property they can move straight into without having to do any work. They may make sure it is completed exactly as they desire in this way.

Thus, give any additions like conservatories or expansions due thought. Certainly, they will undoubtedly increase the value of your house, but they will also limit the possibilities available to potential buyers. They might make your property “too good” if it is already quite expensive relative to the neighbourhood.

Property Specifics

Your property’s exact specifications will also have an impact on its price. If you have a double garage, for instance, and all of your neighbours have single garages, your home is probably worth a little bit more.

Moreover, period features and new double or triple glazing can increase the value of your home.

Services in the area

The value of your home may also be impacted by how near you are to a shop or a bus stop. The frequency of the neighbourhood buses may also be important, particularly if your property is likely to draw visitors who lack access to a vehicle.

Parking 

It’s possible that having a driveway, carport, or garage will lower the value of your home. While many homes now own numerous automobiles, it’s also crucial to consider how many you can park.

If your house has no parking facilities, the ease of on-street parking may have an impact on the sale price.
