Before you offer
Found a property? Check it before you make an offer.
After a good viewing it is easy to start justifying the purchase. We bring the facts back in: is the asking price supported, what does the street mean for future demand, and what needs checking before you commit money to surveys and solicitors?
What we look at
-
Price against evidence
What genuinely comparable homes sold for – same type, size, condition, street quality, plot, parking, layout, tenure and timing – not just any house in the same postcode.
-
Micro-location
The same area can contain very different streets: noise, traffic, neighbouring uses, access, schools and catchments.
-
Saleability
Features that narrow the pool of future buyers, and what that could mean when you sell.
-
Tenure and costs
Freehold or leasehold, lease length, ground rent and service charge – and the questions to put to your solicitor.
-
Condition and visible risks
What should go to a surveyor or specialist before you exchange.
-
Offer strategy
A level the evidence supports, the arguments to use, and a walk-away point.
Sometimes our recommendation is not to buy. That can be the most valuable outcome of all.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a valuation?
No – it is an indicative market opinion to support your decision and your offer. A formal RICS valuation is carried out by a qualified surveyor.
