What is a Property Valuation?
What is a Property Valuation?
We offer various options that allow us to offer you a property valuation that suits you. A property valuation is an assessment of your home’s worth based on current market conditions, local property data, and key influencing factors. At Robert Ellis, we offer free valuations at a time that suits you.
When a valuer arrives at your property, they will:
- Introduce themselves and discuss your reasons for seeking a valuation.
- Walk through your home to assess the layout, features, and condition.
- Evaluate both internal and external aspects of the property.
- Provide an initial market assessment, followed by a follow-up call to confirm the valuation figure.
This process ensures you receive a well-informed, realistic valuation figure that aligns with the market and appeals to buyers.

How We Determine Your Nottingham Property Value
Use of Market Data
Use of Market Data
Robert Ellis has been operating since 1989, selling over 40,000 properties in areas across Nottingham such as Arnold, Beeston, Sandiacre, and Wollaton. We use our extensive database of comparable properties alongside official Land Registry data to determine the most accurate valuation for your home. This data-driven approach provides:
- Insights into recent sales of similar properties in your area.

- The impact of economic conditions on property values across Nottingham.
Key Factors Influencing Property Value
Key Factors Influencing Property Value
Several elements impact your home’s valuation, including:
- Location – The desirability of , proximity to transport links, schools, healthcare, and amenities.
- Size and Layout – The number of reception rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms, as well as additional features like a ground floor WC or open-plan kitchen.
- Condition of the Property – A well-maintained, modern home will command a higher valuation than one requiring extensive work.
- Market and Economic Conditions – Interest rates, property taxation, and economic stability all influence buyer confidence and demand.
Our expert valuers consider these factors to provide an informed and competitive valuation.
Confirming Your Property’s Valuation
After visiting your property, we will provide a written confirmation of our valuation figure, giving you clear guidance on the price you should ask when listing your home for sale. This allows you to make an informed decision about marketing your property effectively.

Changes in interest rates and taxation policies can also have an immediate impact on Nottingham’s property values. For instance:
- The Bank of England adjusting interest rates can either boost or slow down buyer activity.
- Stamp duty changes, such as those coming into effect in April 2025, and the 2020 pandemic relief measures, significantly affected buying behaviour and market movement.
We continuously monitor these factors to provide up-to-date advice on the best time to sell.
