How this calculator works
Every figure in this calculator is the one published in the cost table on our house valuation guide. Pick the option that matches your job and the calculator returns that published range, adjusted for your region - it does not model anything the guide does not already say.

Because an agent's figure carries no liability and is often pitched to win your instruction. HMRC, lenders, housing associations and courts will not accept it. Where the number has legal or tax consequences, you need a Red Book valuation from a registered valuer.
It is given as at a specific date. Housing associations typically accept a staircasing valuation for three months; HMRC works to the date of death for probate; lenders usually want one no more than three months old.
They inspect and measure but do not carry out a survey of condition. If you also want defects reported, book a HomeBuyer report with valuation — combining them costs much less than two separate visits.
You can ask the valuer to reconsider if you have comparable evidence they did not have — recent sales of genuinely similar properties are the only thing likely to move it. Simply disagreeing with the figure will not.
