Can a tenant get a valuation on a rented property?

Nobody cares if it annoys estates agents as they are grossly over compensated for what they ‘do’ in addition to only ever caring about lining their own pockets.

Personally, I’d do my own research or call an estate agent, describe it and ask for their view.

I knew there'd be an 'oh who cares it's only an estate agent!' reply.

Hi tashjovi and welcome. Why should you not get a valuation if you are serious about buying this property? You are not alone:

HTH.

There is also the question of 'what kind of valuation do you want?'

For instance, the EA may value it high in order to get the business, and then be forced to drop the price when offers don't come in. Or a mortgage company might value it low, playing down current frothiness in the market.

So get the sort of valuation that accords with your purposes.
