EA Valuation

I am going to rennovate a property this year but I am wanting valuations depending on which way I go to work out finances i.e either refurb, refurb with double storey extension or possible 2nd house on the plot etc.

Are EA's generally ok with this with a view to a possible sale in a year or so? Or will I be considered a "WOFT" (Waste of F%%% Time)

    Most EAs I deal with are happy to do this - essentially, they will want to establish a rapport with you, in the hope that you give them business in future.


    But don't always assume that every EA's advice is sound...

    Probably the very best people to ask as they'll know the local market better than anyone else. I'm sure most would find time. Sales involves a lot of dead leads, and they're used to putting in groundwork.
