What is your Basingstoke property worth?

By -


Martin & Co has recently launched a brand new version of their website.

Whilst I am sure that most of our customers will have better things to do than check out all the new features of our site, there is one part of the site that you may find interesting …



This new feature of the website is powered by Hometrack, a tool used by 16 of the top 20 mortgage lenders when assessing the value of a property for mortgage purposes.

As an Estate Agent, I have seen many online valuation tools come and go, and most of them have provided wildly over optimistic pricing assessments that leave vendors disappointed when their local agent informs them that their property is not as valuable as they had hoped.

I have often tested these tools on my own property and received valuations that over-valued the property by as much as £100,000! However, with Hometrack, most of the valuations I have seen have been pretty close to the correct market value.

The tool, whilst good, cannot allow for extensions, substantial improvements to the property or allow for the current condition of the property versus other properties that have recently sold. You will still need a personal valuation of your property to get a final accurate value.

It provides values for sales and rental ….

I was on Rightmove this morning and saw two low guides, which are ideal for buy to lets. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-45608319.html http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-45608322.html Both are for being auctioned and will sell on the day, they will be rented for around £650 per month, so depending on the price around £115,000 would be 6.8% however they might go for less then this even if you are lucky on the day. The lowest guide is £75,000 which is over 10%.

How will the Election Impact the Basingstoke Property Market?

By -

After the governments surprise announcement of a snap election of 8 th June 2017, a number of our customers have asked me how this is likely to impact the housing market. It is fair to say that historically, a general election has usually signalled a decline in property sales, just before the election, only for this to return to normal figures shortly after the dust has settled. However, given that general elections since 1980 have nearly always fallen in May or June, looking at the seasonally adjusted figures since 2005, it would suggest this is nothing more than an annual trend in the housing market.   Source: HMRC The main highlights from the graph above are: ·          The number of property sales drop from their peak of 150,000 per month at the end of 2007 (coinciding with the credit crunch/recession). ·          A peak in December 2010 coinciding with the end of the Stamp ...

It’s a boy! Congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on their new arrival, the fifth in line to the throne. While we await a name, in property terms which are the most valuable, or familiar of the bookmakers favourites? Over the last year properties sold on streets bearing all the names with the exception of Frederick exceed the UK average house price of £225,047. Properties sold on streets bearing Albert, Elizabeth and Mary attracting the highest price premiums. Victoria is the most popular girls street name, Albert for a boy, over 3300 and 1300 sales respectively taking place on streets bearing these names, compared to less than 40 for Alice and just 130 for Philip. And what of George and Charlotte? Properties sold on streets including George, sold on average for over twice the UK average at over £483,000, while Charlotte attracts a premium of over £70k compared to the UK average.
