Understand how to price your home.
Prepare for an informed pricing discussion by separating property facts, comparable evidence, automated estimates and professional judgement.
Begin with evidence—not a promise.
This example shows how Savvy can prepare a seller for a pricing conversation. An automated estimate or comparable range is not a formal valuation and cannot guarantee a sale price.
I’m thinking of selling my house. How do I work out the right asking price?
First, let’s identify the correct property and anything that may not be obvious from standard records—extensions, conversions, tenure, condition or recent improvements. Then we can examine the available market evidence without treating unlike properties as direct equivalents.
It’s a four-bedroom detached house with a loft conversion completed two years ago. We have the building-control documentation.
The conversion may affect usable space and buyer appeal, but it should not simply be assigned a fixed premium. I would compare floor area, accommodation, condition, location and sale date—and show which details are confirmed, estimated or still unknown.
Will that tell me exactly what to put it on the market for?
It can establish an evidence-led range for discussion, not an exact answer. The asking price is also a positioning decision: it depends on current competition, likely buyer search bands, your timescale and the agent’s local judgement. The achieved price ultimately depends on the market response and negotiation.
