The Virtual Estate Agent is a chat feature that will answer buyers FAQs to speed up communication. There's no need to answer questions like, ‘Where’s the nearest station or school?’
Documents: We store all your documents in one place, so whenever we ask for anything, we’ll ask you to upload it here. It’ll make it super easy for you and our agents to access, so nothing gets lost in an email chain.
Negotiation: A simple flow that lets you accept, reject, or counter any offer.

How do we value your home?
Our team of expert advisors uses tools that measure 24 billion data points and 32 million UK houses, so we can get an accurate understanding of your home. Including house type, sales history, internal and external plot size, EPC rating and many more comparable’s.
We then cross-reference this data with similar houses in the area. Taking into consideration recently sold, currently for sale and aggregated price fluctuations for the area.
Once we feel confident in our estimate, we’ll call at the designated time you have selected and get additional insight so we can get the most accurate price for your home. This is a crucial stage; we want to hear from you about the house and the area. Your expectations and reservations We would ideally ask for a video call to go through this. If not, we can wait for the professional photographer's photos before confirming the final valuation.
This is the point where our property experts get most involved in the process of selling your house. Once the valuation is approved, we leave it to the selling experts.
