Market appraisal

FORM MA/1

A figure you can hold us to

Most valuations are a number designed to win the instruction. Ours comes with the three sales it is based on, and we will tell you when we think you should wait.
  1. 01Three comparables with addresses, dates and achieved prices — not a portal estimate.
  2. 02Booked within two working days. Takes about 45 minutes.
  3. 03No obligation and no tie-in for hearing it. You can put the number in a drawer.

Someone answers until 8pm. If we cannot beat the figure you already have, we will say so.

SCHEDULE · 15 MILES

Four streets' difference is £250,000 here

We only cover fifteen miles, and we say no beyond it. Inside that, this is what the ground actually costs.

Barn Hill & St Martin's

Georgian town centre, mostly listed

The most expensive square mile in the town and the most restricted — almost nothing here can be altered without consent, which is exactly why it still looks like this.

Reviews from the people we've worked with.

HW
H. Whitcombe
Sold — Rutland Terrace, 2026

“They told us to wait three months and gave us the comparables that said so. The agent before them had valued it £60,000 higher and we would have sat there all summer.”

AD
A. Deshmukh
Fully managed — four units

“I have never had an agent send me the compliance dates before I asked for them. The quarterly photographs are the reason I moved all four flats across.”

J&
J. & F. Oyelaran
Bought — Northfields, 2025

“First-time buyers, and someone actually explained what a memorandum of sale was instead of implying we should already know.”
