Hello
We have a iva with payplan and have received a letter asking for a recent house valuation.
Can anyone advise which estate agent to use and do they charge for a house valuation.
Thank you in advance

Hi,

Speak to your local agents - you can always say that your are planning on moving (redundancy, downsizing) which is what we did and hopefully they will do you a free valuation.

I would also look on rightmove or zoopla and look at similar houses that are currently for sale ...screen print them as examples to send off with any valuations.

There is a solution for everyone .... Just need to stay positive !

Also ... remember ... you are aiming for a low valuation to reflect the fact that the house has had little maintenance over the past few years. Don't forget your purpose and "stage" it for a sale as we would normally do for a valuation.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

We used Zoopla but Payplan said they needed a written valuation, so I had a friend of a friend who works at an Estate agent who kindly did us one for free basing it on the properties in our road. Showed we had a heck of a lot of equity than the zero amount when we started!Plus got a mortgage redemption statement from our building society. Didn't alter the positive outcome of our full & final though! :)
