Common questions

Free valuations, answered honestly

How much does a home valuation cost?

Nothing. A Hart & Stone property valuation is completely free and comes with no obligation to sell or let with us.

How long does a valuation take?

A thorough in-person valuation usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. We look around the property, talk through your plans and explain how we would market and price the home.

Do I have to sell my house if I book a valuation?

No. There is no obligation whatsoever. Many people book a free valuation simply to understand what their property is worth in the current market.

How do you decide on the asking price?

We price on real evidence — recent completed sales of genuinely comparable homes nearby, current competing listings and local demand — not an inflated figure to win the instruction.

Which areas do you cover?

We are based in Rayleigh and cover south-east Essex, including Hockley, Hullbridge, Rochford, Hadleigh, Benfleet, Leigh-on-Sea, Westcliff-on-Sea, Southend-on-Sea and Basildon.

What are your fees?

We charge a simple, fixed fee agreed up front, with no sale no fee on residential sales. We will confirm your exact fee at the valuation so there are no surprises.
