Arrange A Property Valuation In Leeds


When you start to think seriously about selling your home, the first step would be to arrange a valuation with us. We call this a Market Appraisal since the appointment isn’t only to give you a valuation, it is also so we can discuss with you the best way to market and sell your home, answer any questions you may have, and to let you know what the costs of selling will be. It’s important you have this information so that you can plan your move effectively.

How much does it cost to get a valuation done by Dwell?


It costs absolutely nothing to have a house valuation with us. This is the first step to selling your property and we want to make the process as easy as possible right from the start.

During the valuation we’ll be able to provide insightful tips on how to maximise your home’s value, as well as explaining how we would look to market the property, and what our service includes. We will also cover the costs involved with selling and answer any other questions you might have.

It’s a chance for us to meet each other. When we sell your home we’ll be work in partnership and that starts with us finding out more information about your property, and you finding out about us, without any obligations.

Before visiting your home, our valuation team will carry out extensive research using a number of online resources available to us.  

Online valuations


You can access our Instant Valuation Tool here


A note on Instant Valuations

These tools reference thousands of data points online to estimate the value of your home. They will look at your postcode/location, property size, and other similar sales data in your area. They cannot account for improvements you may have made to the property, or any planning gains. If there has been few sales like yours recently, this lack of data will also affect how accurate the instant valuation figure is likely to be. It must be noted that instant valuation tools should only be used as a rough guide, but they are a very good starting point. 

After receiving a completed online valuation enquiry, our team will contact you to find out a bit more about your home, and your individual circumstances and motivations for moving home. You may send us photos or a video to give us a clear understanding of your home (although this isn’t necessary). We could then carry out our further research to give you an online ("desktop") valuation.

Physical valuations


To obtain an accurate valuation for your home, you should always have an in-person valuation of the property, where possible. This allows us to fully appreciate your home and this will enable us to find out more about you and therefore how we can help you best.

You will be able to make a better judgement on which estate agent is right for you by a face-to-face meeting. When we meet we can run through our research with you before presenting your bespoke valuation, and how we arrived there. We will then make recommendations to you on the best ways to market and sell your home, in order to get the best results.

What happens after we have valued your property?


We will confirm our valuation to you in writing and provide you with any next steps that you may need to go to the market. Once you instruct us to sell your home, we will book in a marketing appointment to gather the photographs, measurements, virtual tour, and the marketing description.

You can rest assured that we use only the best professional photographers, and the best and latest in virtual tour technology to ensure your home looks its absolute best, whilst giving potential buyers a really enticing online experience of your home at the same time. This is something we really pride ourselves on, and our property marketing really sets us aside from other estate agents!

We usually need just a couple of days to compile all the marketing assets to send to you for approval. Once approved we can send your home to the market immediately, or on any timescale that suits you.
