There are various ways get the right price for your house, you can employ the services of a surveyor, or have it valued by your local estate agent.
Many agents simply value your property based on what other houses were recently sold for in your area, also taken into consideration is the general condition of your home, its decorative condition and any special features.
If for example, a house a few doors away from yours recently sold for £185,000 but your house has a new conservatory, you can ask a little more.
The same goes for any other additional features such as a recently added garage or newly fitted kitchen, its just a case of common sense much of the time.
You can also employ the services of a local surveyor to give a more professional calculation.
Did you know that an estate agent is not actually qualified to give a true valuation on your home, they just use their experience on what has sold in your area previously, what they offer is a suggested asking price and not a true value, if in doubt, get a survey.
Try to be realistic or use a professional service, its really down to you whether you take their advice on the value of your home.
Using a qualified surveyor will cost you a few hundred pounds but this can often pay off as they do actually give a true value on your home, getting the right price is essential as asking too little could bring a quick sale but you could be losing out on thousands of pounds.
