We believe in being Frank.
That means straight-talking, honesty and doing ordinary things extraordinarily well. Phone calls promptly returned. Turning up on time. Doing the paperwork. Being polite and friendly. And while our team are enthusiastic, energetic and empowered to make things happen, they know that dishonesty – such as inflating an asking price to secure an instruction – simply won’t be tolerated. It’s not fancy. It’s just Frank. We believe that if a job is worth doing, it is worth doing really well. No half measures. We take pride in our work, which means we put in the hours, we work hard for our clients and we earn our fee.

A valuation is an essential part of the process, allowing you to better understand how much your property is worth and where you should set your asking price. But what can you expect during your property valuation? And what factors will impact upon the value of your home? Here at Franklyn James, we make moving as simple and straightforward as it can be. To make the valuation process a little clearer, we’ve put together this helpful guide to help you understand the key considerations we take into account when valuing your property…
What factors are taken into account when your property is valued?
When it comes to selling your home, it’s safe to say that there’s a lot to think about.
Get your instant, free & frank valuation
It goes without saying that location plays an incredibly central role in the valuation of a property. You’ll usually find that the more desirable an area is, the more valuable your property is likely to be. Factors such as an area’s transport links, parks, schools, shops and restaurants can improve the value of your home as the close proximity of these amenities can make a property more appealing and desirable. We’ll take all of this into account when valuing your property.
Location
As part of the valuation, we'll assess the layout of your home, taking into account the number of rooms and their dimensions. We’ll also look at the size of any gardens or outdoor space, as well as sheds and garages, driveways and any parking facilities. All of our valuations are completely bespoke, so you can expect us to look at all areas of your property in plenty of detail.
Layout
If you’ve made any structural improvements to your home, these will all contribute to the outcome of the valuation. The good news is that features such as extensions, loft conversions, and renovations can all add a significant amount of value to your property. We’ll also consider whether there’s any scope for extending or renovating the property further – this can add further value to your home, as we often find that buyers are keen to make the space their own.
Extensions and updates
We probably don’t need to tell you that key rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms are typically more important in a valuation than other rooms in the property. A fresh, contemporary kitchen or bathroom will add more value to your home, so we’ll make these rooms a key focus of the valuation.
Key rooms
In addition to the size and layout of your property, interior elements such as flooring, double glazing, and insulation will impact upon the value of your house. These will all be taken into consideration during the valuation process, as well as your property’s energy efficiency.
Internal elements
The condition of your property has a major influence on its value. For example, if your home is clean, tidy, and well maintained, with universally appealing aesthetics, its value is likely to be a lot higher than a property that needs significant work. When carrying out the valuation, we’ll look at any original or period features within your property, as well as the general level of wear and tear throughout your home.
Aesthetics
As well as looking at a number of factors within your own property when valuing your home, we will also consider the price of comparable homes already on the market as well as those that have recently sold. This will help to ensure that your asking price accurately reflects the current market conditions. Here at Franklyn James, we love to talk property! So, whether you’re looking to arrange a valuation or you’d simply like a little more information about putting your property on the market, get in touch! We’ll provide you with a free, no-obligation, and realistic market appraisal, that will give you a clear understanding of the market value of your property. So, what are you waiting for?

What the vendor says...
I purchased a property through Antony. Throughout the process, Antony was very accommodating and always went the extra mile to ensure I got what I needed. There were complications along the way (out of Franklyn James’ control) and Antony was calm and pragmatic and I can thankfully say kept everyone in the chain happy resulting in me obtaining my dream property. I’ve been in the property a week now and can honestly say Antony that it is even better than I remembered! Thank you so much.
The 11th floor consists of three good sized double bedrooms. The master being the centre piece of the apartment with dual aspect floor to ceiling windows, a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. The two other bedrooms are also favourable doubles, both with the exclusivity of their own bathrooms.

What the vendor says...
My wife and I used Franklyn James to market and sell our property in Bow. We were very impressed with the service we received. Lee and Antony were very responsive, pro-active and diligent throughout. I would have no hesitation recommending the firm.
Offering approximately 515 sq ft of internal living space, the large, dual-aspect open plan reception room with a floor to ceiling window front leads on to a full width south-west facing balcony. The kitchen is fully fitted with base and wall units and a breakfast bar. It comes with a modern bathroom, has two large storage cupboards in the corridor, and the double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes. There is also space for an office desk in the reception room for home office requirements.
Abbotts Wharf is a gated development which includes a 24-hour concierge and security service and is ideally located being within close proximity to both Langdon Park DLR & Westferry DLR stations, offering individuals easy access to public transport. Canary Wharf with all its amenities, shops and restaurants is a 15 min walk away. Bartlett Park is a stone's throw away which offers a large green space, café and bakery. Iconic riverside restaurants and pubs in Limehouse are reachable within a 10 min walk along the canal.
