How much is my house worth?

If you are planning to sell your house or rent your house out, there are two ways to get a property valuation done. You can either get an instant online valuation or arrange a property valuation.

The Online Valuation gives you an estimated price for your house which is generated automatically using Land Registry data and property listings data in your local area, based on your address. This does not take into account any developments made to a property.

Alternatively you can get a more accurate property valuation done for free from one of our local Your Move estate agents who will come out to your house to do an inspection in person. This is a great way to find out how much a house is worth.

Your Move offers both online sales valuation and online lettings valuation for your house.

An online property valuation tool uses a computer algorithm to estimate the value of a property based on information such as the property’s location, size, age and information from the Land Registry data, as well as information about other property listings in the area.

To obtain an online valuation, simply use the Your Move Online Valuation calculator. You will need to input your postcode and find the address of the house, and then provide details about the house such as the number of bedrooms, the type of property (i.e., is it a house or a flat), and any additional features such as a garden or garage.

The online valuation tool will then analyse recent house sale prices of similar properties in the local area and provide an estimated property valuation for the property.

It is important to note that an online valuation is only an estimate using available data. It may not take into consideration factors such as the condition of the property, local market conditions and other variables which could affect the house price.

Online valuation tools can provide a rough estimate if you’re wondering “how much is my house worth”, but they may not be as accurate as getting a property valuation done a professional property valuation expert.
