Stew has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He kept us updated, followed up with potential buyers, ensured we got the best deal possible and was very knowledgeable about the current market. Stew was happy to answer any and every question we threw at him and responded to all correspondence in a very timely matter. Would recommend Stew to family and friends and would call him first, if his services are needed again in the future.

Stew seemed knowledgeable on current trends guiding us through our sale and as it turns out, was right on the money with time and amount. I appreciated his charisma (compared to others who spoke over me or were too 'corporate' for my preferences). He was understanding of my inhibitions and gave us good advice on what was acceptable level of work required to sell. I also appreciated the discussion around reducing fees, giving us options that other agents avoided. Stew made things easy.

Stew really went over and above in selling my property. Unlike other real estate agents I've had dealings with, he is a very genuine person who wanted the best outcome for me, and also undoubtedly the purchasers. He is very honest, extremely helpful (he even relocated a spider for me from inside my house!) and he organised a lot of things that typically would sit with me, in order to take the pressure off me, and make the whole process relatively stress free. Highly recommend!

Your Buxton agent will cover the details - here’s a clear view of what an appraisal involves.
We approach appraisals as a practical conversations, grounded in real data, local insight and what matters most to you.
Speak to usYour Buxton agent visits your property, considers its features, location, and market conditions, and combines that with recent sales data to give you a clear, realistic view of its value.
We analyse comparable properties, current market trends, and your home’s unique qualities. From there, we provide a considered range that reflects what buyers are likely to pay.
Not at all. An appraisal is simply insight - a way to understand your home’s value and your options before making any decisions.
Typically, we recommend an in-person appraisal so we can assess your property fully. In some cases, a virtual appraisal can provide a helpful initial guide.
Agents weigh factors differently - recent sales, market conditions, and property features. At Buxton, we combine local insight, data, and experience to provide a balanced, realistic appraisal you can trust.
