From the landing page you can access the Best Price Guide from the shortcut option or through the menu bar.
The first thing you can do is search for the property you're going to value. The most accurate way to do this is to start typing the full address rather than the postcode and to select from the drop down menu.
If the property has ever been on Rightmove you'll see it appear and get the option to confirm it's the property you're going to value. You can choose whether you want to include all of the information shown or just parts of it.
Now you need to select some comparable properties. You have various filters to choose from including
- Radius around the property
- Property type
- Price
- Bedrooms
You can choose whether you want to use properties that are currently on the market and whether you want to use properties from other agents.
Finally choose the time period you want to look back at, the default is 90 days.
Once you have entered your criteria, you will see properties on the right hand side
Scrolling down the list of properties to include you'll see all the potential comparables. On here we show:
- The property description and street name
- If it's currently advertised on Rightmove and it's status
- The key features from it's most recent listing
- Which agent marketed it and from which date
- The sold price history
- The lead photo
- The last or current price listed on Rightmove
To include the property in your report, simply click 'Add to report'. Once you've done that you have a few options if you don't want to include all of the information.
If you prefer not to include the sold price history or key features just use the check boxes on the right.
If you no longer want to include the property just select 'Remove from report'.
Another feature you'll see at the bottom of every screen is your basket. This keeps a record of every listing you've added and allows you to easily remove a property by hitting the X symbol next to the listing.
Once you have clicked 'Next step' you will see a page as per the below, this allows you to enter your clients name, property address, enter a message and sign off with your name
Scrolling down you will then be able to add/remove maps and graphs from your report. To do so click the tick/untick the button on the top right corners.
Next we have the 3 charts.
The first one shows the number of properties that match your criteria that have been newly listed and sold over the last 6 months.
The second chart shows the average asking price of properties in the last 12 months.
The third and final chart shows the demand on Rightmove for similar properties at similar price points. You can use this to show that pricing a property too highly will result in less demand.
With all these charts it's about using them to back up the story you want to tell. The valuation is yours to decide and the evidence is there to support your story.
Once complete you now have you Digital Best Price Guide. You will see an option to 'Copy Link' as per the below.
In additional to the link, you will also be able to Download or Print your report.
