Online Valuations Are Quick. But Are They Right?

Online Valuations Are Quick. But Are They Right?

Thanks for using our online valuation tool — it’s a great first step.

Online valuation tools might feel like a helpful first step — but they’re rarely accurate. They rely on outdated sales data, postcode averages, and ignore the details that can make a big difference to your home’s true market value.

Here’s what they miss:
  • Improvements or refurbishments you've made
  • Changes to school catchment boundaries
  • Local buyer demand, right now
  • Political or economic shifts affecting confidence and investment
  • The unique character of your street, building, and layout

If you’re serious about understanding your home’s value, you need a proper conversation — not a quick estimate from a website.

What happens when GLP comes round

You’ll meet us — Kate and Rob Hill, founders of Greater London Properties. We’ve lived in this area for over 20 years and have been selling homes across London since 2003.

We don’t just look around and give you a number. We prepare two to three valuation reports from trusted sources — not just Rightmove — to give you a clear and accurate picture of where your home sits in the market. You’ll understand how it compares, what buyers are paying, and what strategy will get the best outcome.

We also don’t do what everyone else does. If you want your home to stand out — and sell for more — you need to present it differently. That’s where we come in.

Staging and presentation that drives value

If you'd like, we can bring along our in-house stylist — our House Doctor — to advise on how to maximise your home’s appeal. Together, we’ll create a practical, no-fuss plan to get your property looking its best. If you're busy, we’ll take care of the details for you.

That might include:

  • Styling key rooms to highlight space, light and lifestyle
  • Making small decorative updates (we have trusted decorators ready to go)
  • Organising staging (we keep all this locally), storage, or a tidy-up before the photography

We help buyers fall in love with your home — and that translates into stronger offers.

We can also help with everything else

Need a solicitor? Mortgage advisor? Removal van? We’ll connect you with reliable local professionals we’ve worked with and trust. We’ve done this hundreds of times and can take the stress out of every stage.

Selling with purpose

For every sale, we donate 10% of our fee to a local school of your choice through our Support Our Schools initiative. It’s our way of giving back to the community and helping improve the place we all live and work in. It’s made a real difference in Central London — and now we’re bringing that same support to Dulwich and Herne Hill.

Why sellers choose GLP

We back up our valuation with multiple reports and real data
We take a different approach — and it gets better results
We only take on 4–5 homes a month so we can give yours our full attention
And we have over 500 five-star reviews on Trustpilot

If you're thinking of selling — or just want an honest conversation about what your home could be worth — we’d love to help.

Warm regards,
Kate & Rob Hill
