Valuations and Our RICS service

Just like most other estate agents in South Kensington we offer a free valuation without obligation if you have a property for sale or for let in South Kensington. We’ll even save you the inconvenience of having us come to visit your property, because we don’t need to! We will provide you with a comprehensive report on the approximate value of your property using clever web based technology. However, if you prefer a home inspection, uniquely and as part of our online services for sellers we will instruct a RICS certified property surveyor to visit your property at no extra cost to you! You will be provided with a RICS valuation report for free (the very same thing a bank uses to value a property for mortgage purposes).

Having a RICS valuation gives you absolute confidence that you are marketing your property at the correct market price, which is important when trying to sell your property quickly. This service is unlikely to be offered by any other estate agents in South Kensington.
