In the last decade, the average property price in the UK has increased. But how do we arrive at these house values? Demand pushes the market forward, but estate agents are the ones who set a sales price for our homes, which is often referred to as a ‘valuation’. But what happens at an estate agent valuation? Lets take a look.

Our homes are our castles, and we like nothing more than styling and personalising them to our own tastes.
