When you're planning to sell your home in Bournemouth, Poole or any of the surrounding areas, understanding what estate agents consider during a market appraisal can help you present your property in the best light. It's not just about counting bedrooms and measuring square footage – a professional valuation looks at several factors that influence your home's marketability and price.
Before the clipboard comes out, a local estate agent will assess more than just bricks and mortar when valuing your property. Professional estate agents pay attention to both obvious features and subtle details that impact marketability. Energy efficiency, smart home technology, and outdoor living spaces have gained significant importance in property valuations over the last few years. But floor plan efficiency, natural light quality, storage solutions, and overall presentation of your property remain elements that impact buyer interest and offer prices.
The condition of your property also plays a crucial role, particularly with the increases in building costs and home improvement since Brexit. Estate agents will note any signs of disrepair alongside positive aspects. A well-maintained home suggests pride of ownership and can positively influence potential buyers' perceptions – and ultimately, your selling price.
"Location, location, location" isn't just a cliché – it remains the golden rule of property valuation. Your home's proximity to good schools, transport links, and local amenities can significantly impact its value. Rightmove research found that 93% of parents consider schools when deciding if a location is right for them, and 83% of them would consider moving to be near a good school.
Your property doesn't exist in isolation. Estate agents will research comparable properties – homes similar to yours in the same location that have sold within the last 12 months and often longer, adjusting for differences in condition, size, and specific features. This comparative market analysis helps establish a realistic asking price that aligns with current market conditions. They will also consider properties currently available in similar areas that will be your competition on the market.
The local property market in areas like Poole, Ringwood, Bournemouth, Wimborne and Ferndown varies dramatically by region, area, and even street. Your estate agent will analyse local market trends, including average time on the market, percentage of asking price achieved, and supply-demand dynamics.
Be aware that hyper-local market trends can affect your selling price. Is your area experiencing a buyer's or seller's market? Are there new developments or infrastructure improvements planned? These factors all influence your property's appeal and value, making it crucial that you work with an estate agent that knows the local area well.
A professional market appraisal goes far beyond a quick walk-through of your home. Estate agents draw on extensive local knowledge, comparable sales data, and local property market expertise to arrive at a valuation that maximises your chances of a successful sale.
By understanding what your estate agent looks for, you can prepare your property effectively and set realistic expectations for your selling journey.
