If you are a home owner in the UK then there are a number of reasons why you might want to get your property valued.  You may be planning to sell your home, be looking to remortgage or you may simply be curious to find out how much your property is worth.  Whatever the reason there a

re a number of ways that you can find out the value your home.

The simplest way to gain an idea of the likely selling price of your property is to compare it with other homes that have been sold recently in the same area.  Look for similar sized properties on your street or in your town that are listed for sale and find what price they are being advertised at.  Although prices will vary a certain amount according to factors such as the age of the property and how well it has been maintained you should be able to gain a reasonable estimate of how much you would get for your home if you decided to sell it. 

For an estimate of how much your home is likely to be worth in the future a good idea is to look at current market trends.  If property prices are growing by for example 5% each year then you can calculate how much the value of your home is likely to increase over the next few years.  Although looking at market trends can be useful you should remember that trends are likely to change and so any estimate may eventually prove to be inaccurate.

In the UK there are many websites that will provide you with an estimated value of your property online for free using a collection of property market data.  These websites require you to enter certain details about your property such as its postcode, the year it was built and the number of bedrooms. Although these sites can be useful they are unable to account for factors such as the condition of the property and so the estimated worth of your home may be set too high or too low.

If you are planning to sell your home then it is advisable to have your property valued professionally.   In the UK professional property valuations are performed by qualified chartered surveyors who often work for or are associated with estate agency firms.  Most people requiring a property valuation will use estate agents.  Using estate agents is beneficial for a number of reasons.  Estate agents are experienced in valuing properties, have local knowledge and in many cases offer their services for free.
