A landlord’s guide to property valuation

Whether you’re a seasoned landlord in Newcastle or new to the letting game, you’ll be well aware that a property valuation is an important part of the rental process. An efficient property valuation will give you an estimate of how much your property is worth — an important detail for both your tenants and for you as a landlord.

Let’s take a closer look at how to get a fast property valuation, and how we can offer you assistance and support throughout the process.

What is a property valuation?

Property valuation is a fundamental process for landlords. It involves assessing the current market value of your property, considering various factors such as location, condition, and demand. 

Our expert valuation team will be on hand to assess your property depending on its available storage, age, size, wear and tear, and room layout — all of which will be used to value your property at an appropriate figure. To make sure you’re getting the most from your property, they’ll also take the local market into account, looking at the prices of similar properties in the area.

Why is property valuation important for landlords?

If you want to stay ahead in the rental market in Newcastle, then regular property valuations are essential. By understanding the current value of your property, you can make informed decisions about rental pricing, future property refurbishments, and your property investment strategies — all of which could maximise your rental yield.
