Where does your home stand? What a desktop review tells you

Most owners know what the house down the road was advertised at. Far fewer know what it sold for, how long it took, or how many homes nearby came off the market without selling. That gap is where decisions about timing and price tend to go wrong.

A desktop review closes it without anyone coming to your door. We look at four things. What we believe your home is worth now. What has sold near you, and at what price against what was first asked. How many homes in your area sold against how many did not. And how long homes like yours are taking to find a buyer.

The second of those matters more than it sounds. In the second quarter of 2026, the typical new listing across the UK was priced 11.6% above its independent valuation, up from 5.7% a year earlier, according to the Property & Homemover Report from TwentyCi. The East of England had moved furthest in that direction. Homes took 76 days, on average, to get from listing to sale agreed. Those are national figures, so your own street is what counts, and that is why the review is built around homes near you.

A review is only useful on the day it is written. Prices move, buyers come and go, and what was true in spring is not always true in the autumn. So we update it regularly, and you always know where you stand, whether you are thinking of moving this year, next year or not at all.

There is no appointment and no obligation, and nobody will telephone you unless you ask. To receive yours, reply to any of our emails with your address, or call us on 03333 606040. If you have moved on since we last spoke, send us your new address instead.

Exquisite Home for the place we call home.
