Estate agents work in a highly competitive industry. Understandably some can often overvalue properties to win the business and have a chance at selling your property.
Online property valuation tools often give false hope. They use online data to place a value on your home, which generally includes sold prices of similar properties in your area and market conditions. Much more needs to be kept in mind when valuing a property, data which is not readily available online such as:
RICS qualified surveyors (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) are entirely impartial. They have no benefit in under or overvaluing your house. It is their profession and responsibility to value your property accurately.
A valuation is always an estimate. This is never set in stone. A property is only ever worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.
