How long does a home valuation take?

What is the difference between an online valuation and an expert valuation?

An online valuation uses sold-price data to give a quick ballpark figure in about a minute. An expert valuation is a visit from one of our valuers who knows your street, sees the condition and improvements of your home, and gives a price you can actually put it on the market at. Most sellers start online and then book the expert visit.
