18/01/2026

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.
