The most obvious reason a homeowner would have their property valued is they are planning on selling their home soon and they want to know what sort of price to expect. This valuation figure provides the platform for pricing the property, a hugely important feature of the selling process. If you don’t price your property properly when it is placed on the market, you can damage its chances of selling.
Therefore, it is vital that you price your property accordingly and at Spencer Harvey, we are here to help. We are pleased to say we have helped many Stockport homeowners sell their home in an effective manner and we look forward to helping you feel confident about the sales process.
There are many reasons you should consider having your home valued
However, there are other reasons why you should have your home valued, even if you aren’t considering selling any time soon. Here are the top five reasons to value your property:
- For the purposes of paying the right amount of property tax
- For the purposes of having the right insurance in place
- To aid your financial planning
- To make sure you safeguard your investment
- To get one over your neighbours
These are all hugely important reasons to have your property valued, and there should be a reason for everyone.
When it comes to property tax, it is vital that you have an accurate current market valuation. A homeowner that undervalues their property is at risk of being fined and a property owner that overvalues their property will run the risk of paying too much tax. A similar story is in place when it comes to insuring your property.
Your home is an asset that you should track
Of course, it should never be forgotten that your house is an asset. Rightly, most people focus on the fact that it provides shelter and keeps them safe and secure, but your house is an asset that impacts on financial planning and your investments. It is best to make informed decisions when it comes to your finances and having your house valued ensures you make an informed decision.
Also, never forget the joy and pleasure that comes from having a home that is valued at a higher figure than your neighbours. If you like to get one up on your neighbours, a property valuation can be the factor that makes you happy, and we want to make Stockport homeowners happy.
