As we are in the process of setting up and not yet had to make an offer i wondered if there were any tricks of the trade to come up with an accurate valuation / market value?
I've be using a mixture of
http://www.houseprices.co.uk and the local estate agents; i understand Estate agents use historic values and the condition of the property.
I realise i will have to build up my own database of my local market and also the condition of the property will play it's part but how do surveyor's and estate agent's come up with their valuation?
Regards
