Answers / Fresh Estate & Letting Agents
How much does a property valuation cost in Swansea?
TL;DR: Most high street estate agents in Swansea, including Fresh, offer a free, no‑obligation market valuation when you are thinking of selling or letting. You would typically only pay a fee for a formal RICS survey or valuation report instructed via a chartered surveyor or lender.
Key points
- Agent valuations: Fresh advertises a free, no‑obligation home valuation for sellers in Swansea.
- When fees apply: You usually pay if you need a formal valuation for a mortgage, Help to Buy, probate, shared‑ownership or legal purposes.
- Typical paid valuations: Independent RICS valuations in South Wales often start from a few hundred pounds depending on property size and purpose.
- Next step: Use a free agent valuation first to understand likely marketing price and strategy.
Short explainer
For everyday selling and letting, the starting point is a market appraisal from a local estate agent. Fresh carries these out free of charge and without obligation, combining recent sold prices with current demand in your part of Swansea.
If you later need a formal valuation — for example for divorce proceedings or a Help to Buy repayment — your solicitor or lender will typically insist on an RICS surveyor and a paid report. That cost sits separately from any estate agency fee and depends on the surveyor and the scope of report.
