Confused to why was your instant valuation wrong?

Lots of home owners use online valuation tools but in reality they are just a rough guide to what the real time local sales market is doing and whether you are thinking of selling or not, it is important to get figures that accurately reflect the value of your home. Read the top 3 reasons for the inaccuracy. ๐Ÿ‘‡


These are the three reasons...



  • 1. Instant valuations are only on average 60-70% accurate.  This is because the figures you have been given are based on computer generated data and algorithms that do not take into account lots of factors which affect your property value.


  • 2. The online valuations are based on the last time your house sold and local sales in the area, this can give misleading figures as in many areas, especially ours, some streets not have regular sales and our area has its own unique market which wonโ€™t relate to the average marketing information that has been used.


  • 3. The figures also arenโ€™t able to consider what you have done to your home since you bought it, the particular demand for your style of house and exact location which is why your local area specialist, Love Property, can help.
