Property valuation in Poole Old Town and Quay

A property valuation in Poole Old Town tells you what your quayside apartment, converted flat or Old Town house would sell for, what it would let for, or both. It is free and without obligation, and it is the local side of our property valuation service. The area is on our Poole Old Town and Quay area page.

What we look at on the Quay

The flat. The view from the main rooms, the balcony, the floor, the room sizes, the kitchen and bathroom, and which way the bedrooms face onto a Quay that is lively on summer evenings.

The building. Its age and condition, the lift, the door entry, the fire safety information and the managing agent.

The lease. Years remaining, ground rent, service charge and budget, planned works, and any restrictions on letting.

Parking. An allocated space, a garage, or none.

Listing. For older houses and some converted buildings, what the listing covers and what consents exist.

Rental value against sale value

A rental valuation tells a landlord what a professional, a commuter or a contract worker would pay on a tenancy, or what the flat would earn furnished by the month where the lease allows it. A sales valuation tells an owner what a buyer would pay now, and whether the flat is aimed at downsizers, second-home buyers, first-time buyers or investors. On the Quay the answer to "let or sell" often depends on the lease and the service charge, so we show both. Our guide to how property valuations work explains the evidence we use.

An instant figure first

The instant rent estimate gives a first rent range from the postcode, bedrooms and property type in under a minute. It cannot see the view or read the lease, so we confirm it at a visit.

Summer evenings on the Quay

The Quay is busy on summer evenings, and some buyers and tenants weigh the noise against the view. A flat with bedrooms on the quieter side of the block can be worth more to them than one that faces the water in every room. We note which way each room faces.

How the visit works

We arrange a time and walk through the flat, look at the view from each room, the building's common parts and the parking, and read the lease and the latest service charge statement. You receive a figure or range in writing with the comparable evidence and, where relevant, our view on a lease extension.
