Home Value Estimator
Estimate your property's value based on nearby sold prices from Land Registry. Filter by property type and see comparable recent sales.
How to estimate your home's value
The most reliable indicator of property value is comparable recent sales — what similar properties nearby have actually sold for. Land Registry records every property transaction in England and Wales, and this tool uses that data to give you a ballpark estimate.
Property type matters significantly. In the same postcode, a detached house might sell for twice the price of a flat. That's why filtering by type gives you a more relevant estimate. Recent sales are weighted more heavily than older ones, since the market moves over time.
For a formal valuation — needed for mortgage applications, probate, or tax purposes — you'll need a qualified RICS surveyor. Online estimates are useful for initial research but can't account for individual property condition, improvements, or unique features.
Frequently asked questions
- How accurate is this estimate?
- This estimate is based on Land Registry sold prices for properties near your postcode, weighted by recency. It gives a reasonable ballpark but cannot account for individual property condition, improvements, views, or garden size. Treat it as a starting point for research, not a formal valuation.
- Why does property type matter?
- Property values vary enormously by type. In the same postcode, a detached house might sell for 2-3x the price of a flat. Filtering by type ensures you're comparing like with like, which gives a more meaningful estimate.
- How recent is the sold price data?
- Land Registry data is typically 2-3 months behind the current date due to the time it takes for transactions to be registered. Our estimate weights recent sales more heavily — a sale from 6 months ago counts more than one from 4 years ago.
- Should I get a formal valuation?
- Yes, if you need a valuation for a mortgage application, divorce settlement, probate, or tax purposes. A RICS-qualified surveyor will inspect the property and provide a legally recognised valuation. For simply researching an area or deciding whether to sell, this tool is a good starting point.
