Thinking about getting your property valued? Below are the questions we’re asked most often, from what actually happens during a visit to how we work out your figure. If there’s something we haven’t covered, your nearest branch will be happy to help.
One of our agents visits your home and walks through each room, noting size, layout, condition and any improvements you’ve made. We look at natural light, outside space, parking and the general feel of the property, then compare it against recent sales of similar homes nearby. You’ll usually get a clear figure and the reasoning behind it before we leave, along with an honest view on how to present the property for sale.
Most valuations take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the property. That’s enough time to see everything that affects the figure and to answer any questions you have about selling, timing or the local market. We won’t rush it, and we won’t drag it out.
Value comes down to evidence, not guesswork. We look at what comparable properties in your area have recently sold for (not just what they were listed at), then adjust for your home’s condition, size, location and any features that set it apart. Local knowledge matters here, which is why we value within the areas our branches actually cover.
An estate agent valuation, sometimes called a market appraisal, tells you what your home is likely to sell for in the current market. It’s free and it’s what you need when you’re thinking about selling. A RICS valuation is a formal, paid report carried out by a chartered surveyor, usually for mortgages, probate or legal matters. If you’re selling, our free valuation is what you’re after. If you need a formal figure for legal or lending reasons, we can point you in the right direction.
An online valuation is a useful starting point. It uses sold-price data to give you a ballpark figure in seconds. But it can’t see your kitchen, your extension or the state of the garden, and those details move the number. For an accurate figure you can price and sell on, an in-person valuation is the one to trust. Many people start online, then book a visit to firm it up.
No, you don’t need to do anything special. We’re assessing the property’s potential, not marking you down for a bit of mess. That said, it helps us if we can access all the rooms, the loft and any outbuildings, and if you can mention any improvements or issues we might not spot. If you want tips on presenting the home for photos and viewings later, just ask.
It’s sensible to get two or three. It gives you a feel for the range and helps you spot any figure that looks too good to be true. Be wary of an agent who values noticeably higher than the rest; an inflated figure that doesn’t sell often leads to a price reduction later, which loses the early momentum that matters most. We’d rather give you an honest, achievable figure from the start.
Usually within a few days, and often sooner. Get in touch with your nearest branch or fill in the form on this page, and we’ll arrange a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends where we can.
The valuation itself is completely free with no obligation. If you decide to sell with us, our fee is a percentage of the sale price, agreed and confirmed in writing before you commit to anything. There are no hidden charges, and you only pay when your property successfully sells. We’re happy to talk through the numbers at your valuation.
That depends on your local market and your own circumstances, which is exactly what a valuation helps you work out. We’ll give you an honest read on current buyer demand in your area, how quickly comparable homes are selling, and whether it makes sense to move now or wait. No pressure either way.
Cambridge is one of the most price-sensitive markets we work in. Small differences in location, condition and presentation can have a meaningful effect on what your property achieves. Getting the pricing right from the outset matters more here than almost anywhere else. Our Cambridge team covers the city and surrounding villages and can give you an accurate assessment of where your property sits, and what’s likely to move it.
Our Cambridge valuations are free, with no obligation to proceed. If you’d prefer to start with an instant online estimate, that’s available through our website at any time through the Instant Valuation link in the main menu.
Cambridge is one of the most price-sensitive markets we work in. Buyers here tend to do their research and have enough choice to be selective, so a home priced ahead of what comparable sales support gets spotted quickly and tends to sit. Small differences in location, condition and presentation have a real effect on what a property achieves, which is why getting the figure right from the outset matters more here than almost anywhere.
More than it used to. In Cambridge, the energy performance rating has become a genuine consideration for buyers rather than just a compliance formality, and homes with lower ratings are increasingly scrutinised. It won’t be the only factor, but it’s one worth understanding before you come to market. We’ll flag where it’s likely to matter for your property.
Our Cambridge team values across the city and the surrounding villages. Get in touch and we’ll confirm we cover your area before booking a visit.
The racing industry shapes Newmarket’s property market in ways that aren’t always obvious. Demand from stable staff, trainers and industry professionals runs alongside a commuter market that’s grown as Cambridge has become less affordable. Both factors affect what your property is worth and who’s likely to buy it. Our Newmarket team carries out valuations across CB8 and the surrounding villages, including Exning, Kentford, Moulton and Gazeley, and can give you an accurate picture of where your property sits in the current market.
A property valuation in Newmarket with Morris Armitage is free. There’s no obligation to proceed and no fee involved. If you’d prefer an instant estimate before committing to a visit, our online valuation tool gives an immediate ballpark figure.
It can, and it works both ways. For some buyers, proximity to the training grounds is part of the appeal of living in Newmarket. For others, the early-morning activity and associated traffic are a consideration. What matters is pricing the property for the buyers most likely to want it, which is where local knowledge counts. Our Newmarket team understands how these pockets of the town are viewed and prices accordingly.
Newmarket is unusual. Alongside the normal residential market, there’s steady demand from stable staff, trainers and other industry professionals, which creates pockets of strong activity that don’t always follow the wider market. It means an accurate, locally-informed valuation matters more here than in a standard commuter town. We factor that demand into how we position and price your property.

Properties in Downham Market have attracted steady interest from buyers relocating from more expensive parts of the east of England, particularly as remote working has made the commute less of a daily consideration. That shift in demand has had a real effect on valuations. Our Downham Market branch covers the town and surrounding villages including Stoke Ferry, Upwell, Outwell and Watlington, and we’ll give you a clear, evidence-based figure rather than a broad estimate.
A valuation with our Downham Market team is free of charge, with no obligation to list with us afterwards. If you’d like a rough figure before booking a visit, our online valuation tool gives an instant estimate.
Yes, noticeably. As remote and hybrid working has made the daily commute less of a deciding factor, Downham Market has attracted steady interest from buyers relocating from more expensive parts of the east of England. That shift in demand has had a real effect on valuations, and it’s something we factor in when pricing your home.
Often, yes. Buyers here are typically well-informed and weighing value against what’s available elsewhere in the region, so condition and presentation carry particular weight. A well-maintained home that shows well tends to stand out. We’ll give you an honest view on where yours sits and what, if anything, is worth addressing first.
Our Downham Market branch covers the town and surrounding villages including Stoke Ferry, Upwell, Outwell and Watlington. If your village isn’t listed, ask us and we’ll confirm.
Burwell draws buyers from both Newmarket and Cambridge, which gives well-positioned properties here a broader pool of potential buyers than you might expect for a village market. School catchment areas, plot size and proximity to the village centre all have a noticeable effect on value. We cover Burwell and nearby villages including Reach, Swaffham Prior, Swaffham Bulbeck and Fordham from our Newmarket branch.
A valuation with our Burwell team is free of charge, with no obligation to list with us afterwards. If you’d like a rough figure before booking a visit, our online valuation tool gives an instant estimate.
Burwell is well placed between Newmarket and Cambridge, which gives well-positioned homes here a broader pool of buyers than you might expect for a village. That’s a genuine advantage when selling. School catchment areas, plot size and proximity to the village centre all have a noticeable effect on value, and we price with that wider buyer pool in mind.
They do. Buyers priced out of Cambridge often look to villages like Burwell for more space and better value, while still wanting reasonable access to the city. It means competitively-priced homes can attract genuine interest from both directions. The flip side is that these buyers are well-informed, so an over-ambitious asking price tends to lose out to better-value options nearby.
We cover Burwell and nearby villages including Reach, Swaffham Prior, Swaffham Bulbeck and Fordham from our Newmarket branch. Get in touch if you’d like to check we cover your address.
