Starting too high often means waiting a long time for serious enquiries – and price cuts make buyers suspicious.

Why

Why an inflated price becomes expensive

  • Buyers compare: portals show how long properties have been listed and whether the price was reduced.
  • The bank decides too: financing is based on the lending value – a clearly inflated price often fails at the financing stage.
  • Long marketing weakens your negotiating position.
Methods

How a realistic value is determined

Comparative method

Based on prices actually achieved for similar properties.

Cost method

Land value plus the value of the building – common for owner-occupied houses.

Income method

Derives the value from rental income – typical for let properties.

Location, condition, modernisations, layout and current demand come on top. Online calculators give a first impression but cannot replace a viewing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are online valuations reliable?

They give a rough orientation but know nothing about condition, layout or micro-location. A reliable asking price needs a look on site.
