Helpful, professional and knowledge
I booked a valuation via the Yopa website, it was so straightforward and easy to do. Richard Buckley came to carry out the valuation, he was very helpful, professional and knowledgeable, and provided a quote quickly. I would definitely recommend Yopa and Richard to anyone wanting to sell their home. I can't thank Richard enough, thank you.

Genuine, honest feedback from Yopa!
I hosted Harry from Yopa today, to look around my property, with view to gleaning a valuation. I found him to be very engaging, positive and friendly, who offered what I felt to be sound advice, amid the current house buying/selling landscape. I think I most admired his honesty in the assessment of my property and would certainly approach Yopa again in the future, should I decide to sell.Many thanks to Harry and the Yopa team!

FAQs

Our online valuation tool can instantly give you an idea of the value of your home.

What’s my house worth and why?

The UK housing market is reasonably efficient with house values being dictated by what buyers are willing and able to pay for any given property. The price buyers are willing to pay will largely be influenced by the property itself, its location, the wider housing market and the overall economy with the following being most influential factors dictating the value of your home:

1) Properties in desirable areas, such as those with good transport links, close to amenities and green spaces or within particular school catchment areas tend to command higher prices, the old adage of ‘location, location, location’ is therefore one of the key drivers of what a house is worth.

2) A market with more buyers than properties for sale is known as a ‘seller’s market’, increased competition between buyers for a limited supply of housing forces the price of properties up towards the level that the buyer willing and able to pay the most is happy to offer. A ‘buyer’s market’ is the reverse with fewer buyers chasing a larger supply of properties, in this type of market the price of housing is likely to be closer to the lowest price a seller is willing to accept.

3) As interest rates increase, so to do mortgage payments, this makes houses more expensive to purchase relative to a buyer’s income and puts downward pressure on prices. Falling interest rates on the other hand reduce the cost of property ownership and enables buyers to make higher offers than they could before, in addition lower interest rates tend to encourage more buyers into the market thereby increasing competition for properties.

4) If buyers are confident about their future financial situation in terms of income, job security and inflation etc then they are typically more confident in moving and taking on higher mortgage payments, this in turn makes them willing to pay more for a given property. Higher consumer confidence therefore supports higher house prices as increased competition for properties from buyers with larger budgets pushes up values.

5) All other things being equal, the characteristics of the property itself will dictate what buyers believe a house to be worth. Key features that help increase the value of a property include the property type, the number and size of bedrooms/bathrooms, the presence and size of a garden, the amount of parking available, the layout and condition of the house and individual features such as a modern kitchen or attractive views etc

It is important to note that there is almost always a buyer for every property, the key is whether the buyer and seller can agree on a price that is acceptable to both and whilst a lot of the factors that influence prices are outside of the vendor’s control, focussing on maximising the physical characteristics of the property whilst also attracting the greatest number of potential buyers are two proven ways to generate the highest possible price.

In addition if you are planning to move, it is the relative difference in price between your current property and new property that is the most important metric, if both your current property and the new property increase or decrease by the same amount, then financially you are in exactly the same position.

What’s the benefit of an online valuation?

Using an online home valuation tool is the quickest and easiest way to get a rough estimate of your property’s value. Although it can never be as accurate as an estate agent’s estimate, it’s a good place to start if you have no idea what your home’s worth.

What information do you need?

We only need a few details to get started, including your postcode and the number of rooms in your home. We’ll also ask for some contact information - this is where we’ll send your instant valuation and let you know what next steps you can take, such as meeting a local estate agent for a more in-depth valuation.

How do online property valuations work?

Online valuations are based on millions of pieces of data, from sold house prices in your area to current market trends and the size of your home. That’s why we ask for your address and the number of bedrooms you have. All in all, it’s a great way to get an initial idea of the value of your home.

Will the result be accurate?

Our online property valuation tool will give you a handy estimate of your property’s value, but an estate agent can give you a more accurate figure face-to-face. Everything from the unique condition of your property to the way it’s been decorated can affect how much it’s worth, and only an estate agent will be able to take everything into account.

If you would like a more accurate figure, book a free, face-to-face, no-obligation valuation with your local Yopa agent today.

What should I do after my online house valuation?

If you’re just interested in an estimate, great! You’re all done. However, if you’re thinking of selling (either now or in the future), it’s a good idea to get an estate agent around to give you a more personal valuation. They’ll be able to take into account all the features that an automatic tool can’t take into account, such as unique selling points and hidden detractors, and apply their knowledge of the local market.

They can also give you tips on making your home more appealing to buyers, help you plan the sale of your property, and answer any questions you have. Even if you’re not ready to go on the market, many homeowners find it useful to know how exactly much their home is worth.
