Yes. An Upstix online house valuation is free and takes under a minute — there is no obligation and no agent visit required. Estate agents also offer free in-person valuations, while a formal RICS valuation report (used for probate, tax or lending) is a paid service, typically a few hundred pounds.
An online valuation uses sold prices, current listings and property attributes to estimate a market figure instantly — ideal for an early, no-commitment answer. An in-person valuation adds what data cannot see: condition, natural light, layout, noise and finish. Most sellers start online for a range, then confirm with two or three agent visits before choosing an asking price.
These figures are compiled from live on-market listing data covering CM1 and refresh monthly; the set shown was last refreshed on 2026-07-01. They describe the local market, not any individual property, so treat them as context rather than a valuation.
