UK mortgage holders urged to seek unbiased valuations

Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2005

Mortgage holders looking to buy a new home should make sure the property they choose is reasonably priced, or risk paying more than they need to.

Meanwhile, those looking to sell should make sure that their property is not overpriced, or miss out on the sale.

Both groups are being helped by a new website that gives home sellers an unbiased and realistic valuation on their property, making sure both they and the homebuyer get the best deal possible.

The effectiveness of e-valuations.co.uk lies in the fact that has nothing to gain by over or undervaluing the property, and therefore offers an honest, realistic and unclouded judgement on the value of the house.

Liquid Property, the company behind e-valuations.co.uk, explained in a release: "Every homeowner is concerned about the value of their property, especially when it comes time to sell.

"Arriving at the correct asking price is often hindered by conflicts of interest and inflated expectations. For the first time, a service is now available that can provide an unbiased and independent appraisal of house values."

e-valuations.co.uk allows homeowners to order an evaluation online for a flat fee, meaning that the company has nothing to gain by overvaluing the property.

It bases its reports on information gathered from multiple data sources including the Land Registry, and analysis of the properties that are currently for sale in the local area.
