We know it's important that our valuations are impartial and fair. That's why we use Hometrack, the UK's leading property research and database companies – and the only independent company of its type in the country.

Hometrack is used by High Street Banks & Mortgage Lenders, Estate Agents and other property experts across the UK because of the huge amount of data it holds on property valuations and sales. Its database currently stands at over 14 million valuations, with tens of thousands of new valuations added each month. No other company boasts this volume of information about the UK property valuation market, which is why we can be sure that Hometrack can give us accurate property valuations that are fair for both buyers and sellers.

Why is Hometrack better than other valuation services?

The information in the Hometrack database allows the company to provide accurate valuations as quickly as possible. The company's system is based on the Realtime Valuation Model™, which is itself used by most Mortgage Lenders with more than 70% of the UK mortgage market share. Hometrack is a respected data and valuation provider, which has been in operation since 1999 and we believe it brings the following benefits to our clients:

• Accurate valuations based on real market data
• Speedy valuations to enable sales to progress quickly
• Only provider of online valuations
• Objective valuations
• Constantly updated with new market valuation data
• Independent – Hometrack does not pay agents to send information and receives no pay from agents who are submitting property details

Other property agents may just send a surveyor round to value your property. This valuation can be based on as little as a cursory glance at your property from the outside, and may pay little attention to current market conditions or the price achieved by recently-sold properties. Using Hometrack means that we don't have to put sellers out by waiting for a surveyor to turn up, and gives both buyers and sellers the peace of mind that comes with a valuation backed by key market data.

Widely used by property professionals across the UK, we believe that Hometrack provides the most accurate information for our clients, helping your sale or purchase get off to the best possible start. You can find out more about Hometrack by visiting their website at http://www.hometrack.co.uk/
