Thinking About Selling in Herne Hill or Dulwich? Here’s What Local Vendors Ask Us Most
If you're considering selling your home in Herne Hill or Dulwich, one of the first steps is getting an accurate, honest property valuation. And naturally, most vendors have plenty of questions — from how values are calculated to how accurate those online tools really are.
With roots in Central London and a deep understanding of the Dulwich and Herne Hill market, our process combines local insight, cutting-edge AI, and community-driven service to ensure you’re getting the full picture — not just a guess.
Here are the top six questions we’re asked at valuations:
Who will handle my sale?
You’ll be working directly with Kate and Rob Hill — the directors of Greater London Properties. From the very first valuation to completion day, we personally handle every step of your sale. Buyers get their questions answered quickly, and you get a single point of contact throughout. While we have two shop fronts and an exceptional team behind us, this branch is proudly director-led — meaning your sale is overseen by experienced professionals who genuinely care.
How do you come up with a valuation figure — and how accurate is it?
A truly accurate valuation blends local expertise with the right tools. At GLP, we don’t rely on gut feeling or online estimates. We use advanced platforms like Sprift, which generates in-depth reports on your property — including planning history, local pricing trends, flood risk, and more.
We also use Lifecycle, an AI-driven CRM that tracks buyer behaviour in real time. We can see exactly who’s viewing your property, what features they focus on, and how likely they are to enquire — giving us a live picture of market demand and allowing us to price strategically.
Why is a local agent still necessary when I can get an online valuation instantly?
Online valuations are helpful as a rough guide, but they often miss the nuances that can dramatically impact price — layout, condition, garden aspect, the road you’re on, and even which side of the street you're on.
That’s where local knowledge matters. Rob and I have lived in the area for over 20 years and have children in the local schools. We’re not just agents — we’re neighbours. And that understanding helps us price, market, and position your home more effectively.
Can you show me what buyers are looking for — and how much interest my home might generate?
Yes — and that’s one of the real benefits of working with us. Through Lifecycle, we can show you live data on exactly how many buyers are searching for homes like yours, what they’re clicking on, and how engaged they are.
Plus, with a database of over 65,000 active buyers across London, many of whom are looking to move from Central London to greener areas like Herne Hill and Dulwich, we can connect your home with the right people faster.
What extra tools or insights do you bring as a Central London agency now working locally?
Our London-wide reach means we’re used to high expectations, fast timelines, and global buyers. We bring that same energy and expertise to every Dulwich and Herne Hill home we list — combining it with a deeper, community-focused approach.
We also invest in marketing properly. Ask any agent how much they actually put into showcasing your property — you might be surprised.
- At GLP, our Property Launch Plans are tailored to each home. Options include:
- Interior styling to elevate your home’s appeal before photography.
- Decluttering support to make sure your space photographs beautifully.
- Professional photography that captures the best angles and lighting.
- Video walkthroughs presented by our team, filmed professionally for immersive, high-end marketing.
It’s all part of what we call The GLP Difference — a smarter, more strategic way to sell.
Do I need to pay for a valuation?
No — our consultations are completely free and come with no obligation. They’re about more than just price; we’ll talk about market trends, timing, presentation tips, and answer all your questions.
You’ll also receive a full Sprift report on your property to keep, so you have all the data we used to reach our valuation.
Whether you're ready to list or just exploring your options, we’re happy to help.
Giving Back to Local Schools
When you sell with Greater London Properties, 10% of our sales fee goes to a local school of your choice. It’s our way of giving back to the community — supporting the schools that make Herne Hill and Dulwich such special places to raise a family. Whether it’s DVIS, Judith Kerr, Bessemer, or another school close to your heart, your move can make a difference where it really matters.
