We were confident, once meeting Matt that his knowledge of our area was second to none. He provided us with an accurate appraisal that proved to be bang on. The process was easy and straightforward and he kept us informed the whole way. Would not hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone we know and we look forward to working with him in the future.

Matt recently sold our house for us. It was a seamless process and he gave us clear and accurate expectations, selling for basically spot on his appraisal. We would definitely use him again.

We both sold and purchased through Matt in the last 12months. During both processes he was always available and nothing was too much to ask. Matt communicated clearly and his negotiation skills helped us walk away confident on each occasion. We chose to sell with Matt because of his knowledge and insights in the market. We also felt his approach to things felt genuine and transparent. A true professional.

I first met Matt while looking for a property to downsize into, after purchasing through Matt I was so impressed with his after sales service I had no hesitation in listing my current home for auction with him. Both he and Chloe were such a pleasure to deal with it made the sale process entirely stress free. His professionalism coupled with genuine care for both myself and my property shone through. To say I was thrilled with the result is an understatement.

Callum M

Matt was a pleasure to work with not just on this property but throughout our journey. It can be a tough time as a first home buyer trying to enter the market but Matt’s knowledge and approach made it a lot easier for us. At no point did we feel like there was any friction (even on properties we had missed out on), it’s clear that Matt works toward the best outcome for both the vendor and buyer and his experience is priceless.

Ben W

Frequently Asked

Here to help

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 us

Your 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.
