We use real-time data from the Land Registry and property portals to calculate a market estimate. Online calculators vary in accuracy, and ultimately, nothing is more accurate than an in-person valuation from a genuine estate agent.

Whether you use our online valuation tool or book a valuation from a local estate agent, getting your house valued is completely free with no obligations.

Most online valuation tools aren't 100% accurate but it's possible to get a pretty good estimate by combining information from multiple sources.

GetAgent’s online valuation tool analyses recent sold prices from HM Land Registry, along with area and market demand data. We then apply the additional information you provide to give an estimate of your home’s value.

However, you'll always get a more accurate valuation if you work with an experienced local estate agent. To get the most accurate valuation of your home, we recommend that you book at least three in-person valuations from local estate agents. They'll be able to tell you how much your house is worth, and what price to list your property at.

While it's pretty obvious why knowing the prospective value of your property is useful if you’re looking to sell your home - getting a good idea of the figures ahead of time can also be just as useful to potential buyers.

If you're shopping around for the perfect place to build your nest, or even simply looking into getting a good investment property to enrich your portfolio, figuring out whether a home is over or underpriced can play a huge role in being able to negotiate the best deal for yourself.

However, just as it helps you buy and sell, knowing your home's value is also important for keeping an eye on your property taxes and even your home's insurance policy. This helps you make sure that you're always being charged fairly.

In addition to this, home valuations give you more control over crucial financial planning - allowing you to keep track of your assets and their summary performance. For example, knowing your property's value could help you negotiate a remortgage on your property, and leverage some of the equity to make further investments, upgrade your property, or even help pay for your child’s education.

Last, but certainly not least, if you're planning to do some upgrades on your property like land work or an overhaul of the interior in your home - it may be wise to run the numbers ahead of time to see how this could impact the price of your house. At the end of the day, the last thing you would want to do is to invest your hard-earned cash towards costly renovations or upgrades, only to find out that your home did not increase in value at all, despite your investment.

Whether or not you're actively looking to buy or sell your home, being able to calculate the valuation of your property is a very useful thing all-around - and there are quite a few methods that you can leverage to get the best possible insight.

The most reliable way would be to get in touch with an estate agent who can give you an accurate valuation for your property. The best estate agents are experts on the local market and house prices in your area. Our free Agent Comparison Tool will tell you exactly which agents are the best at valuing properties in your area.

If you’re not quite ready to enlist the help of an estate agent, you can find out your home’s worth for free with our online valuation tool. It references data from all across the UK, using the Land Registries, and online property portals, to give you an idea of what your home may be worth.

On average, the best approach is to get three separate valuations from local estate agents. This will give you a fair range to work with and a better idea of how much you could possibly sell your property for, once you're ready to list it.

While having even a single point of insight is already fantastic, the more data you have to reference, the better your ability to make an informed decision on your finances.

Yes, it’s possible to value your own house, but getting a figure that’s truly accurate takes a lot of time. Factoring in home developments, crawling through Land Registry pages, checking listings on property portals - these are all things our valuation tool does for you in a matter of seconds.

Your home’s value changes significantly over time. In fact, it can change several times a year. Our online valuation tool tracks the valuation of your home and you can log in anytime to check it out.

There are lots of variables that affect the value of your home. Just as your local area’s market performance affects your property’s value, the national market affects it too. Other factors that affect its value include:

• Location
• Transport links
• Square footage
• Outdoor space
• Age and condition
• Property potential
• Number of bedrooms
• Number of bathrooms
• Extensions or conversions
