How To Value A Property

Valuing a property effectively is one of the most fundamental ways of ensuring that your investment portfolio can make a profit. After all, if we over pay, then the returns may be diminished. In this episode, Simon talks you through the most effective ways in which you can accurately judge the value of a potential property purchase, so as to always maximise your returns. KEY TAKEAWAYS The most reliable way of valuing a property is through like comparison - the comparing of similar properties to the one in question. Other factors such as the current condition of the property will affect value price. Also, think about the property's location, and the immediate surroundings, which all play a part in determining price. Estate agent valuations are traditionally the first type of valuation that take place. But bear in mind that most agents will overvalue a property in order to win your business. Whenever you buy a property and apply for a mortgage, the bank will instruct a surveyor to value and potential rental income. Before this takes place you may obtain a private survey in order to confirm your own valuation.
