Valuation Booked? Here’s What Happens Next
What happens after you book a valuation with Open House Estate Agents Bolton?
Booking a valuation should be simple and stress-free. Here’s exactly what happens next.
1) We confirm your appointment
We’ll confirm the date/time by phone, WhatsApp or email and ask a few quick details (sale or let, property type, and your ideal timescale).
2) The valuation visit (20–40 minutes)
At the property we:
-
Walk through inside and outside
-
Note condition, layout, upgrades, parking/garden, and overall presentation
-
Ask your goals (best price, quick sale, smooth move, or rental income)
-
Answer questions clearly — no pressure
3) We do the market research
After the visit we compare your home to:
-
Recent local sold prices
-
Current competition on the market
-
Buyer/tenant demand in your area
This gives a realistic figure based on evidence, not guesswork.
4) You receive your valuation + strategy
We explain:
-
The recommended price/rent range
-
A clear plan to achieve the best result
-
Simple next steps (and what to do first)
5) If you choose to proceed, we launch properly
We arrange:
-
Photos / floorplan / description
-
Marketing launch date
-
Viewings, feedback, offers and negotiation
-
Full progression support through to completion (or move-in for lettings)
FAQs
How much does a valuation cost?
Our valuations are free and no-obligation.
Do I need to tidy up?
No — but if you want the best “marketing advice”, a quick tidy helps us spot presentation wins.
Can you do a rental appraisal too?
Yes — we can provide a rent estimate and explain the best route: Tenant Finder or Fully Managed.
What if my home is tenanted?
No problem — we’ll plan around tenant access and advise on the smoothest route to market.
