Selling your home in Huntingdon
45 minutes, no pitch.
Most people who ask what their house is worth haven’t decided to sell yet. They want a figure they can rely on before they make any plans. That’s the valuation we give.
Belvoir Huntingdon sells and lets homes from our office at 56 High Street. Give us around 45 minutes and we’ll tell you what your home should sell for and how we reached that figure. We’ll also explain how we’d find the buyer. Whether you go ahead is up to you.

What happens at your house valuation in Huntingdon
We start by looking round the whole house as a buyer would, noting what will help it sell and anything that could put people off. Then we ask about your plans: when you’d like to move, whether you’re buying another home, and whether price or speed matters more to you.
Next we show you recent sales of similar homes nearby, so you can see where our figure comes from and recommend an asking price. If we think a higher price would slow the sale down, we’ll tell you. We finish by explaining how we’d market the home and who we expect to buy it.
If you’re also wondering about letting, we can give you a rental figure in the same visit. A free property valuation in Huntingdon costs nothing and commits you to nothing. For a rough guide before we come round, try our instant online valuation.
Choosing how to sell
Private treaty
This is how most homes in Huntingdon sell. We market your home, arrange viewings and negotiate with buyers for you. Before you accept an offer, we check the buyer’s mortgage position, their deposit and whether they need to sell first, so you know how secure the offer is.
Property auction
Auction can work well if you need to sell to a fixed timescale, or if your home needs work that some mortgage lenders won’t lend on. It isn’t right for every property, and we’ll say so if it isn’t right for yours. Find out more about property auction in Huntingdon.
Belvoir The Collection
For homes at the top of the local market, Belvoir The Collection gives your property a more tailored marketing campaign, with presentation built around the home and the buyers most likely to want it.
After you accept an offer
Most sales that fall through do so after an offer is accepted, while surveys, mortgage offers, searches, and the rest of the chain are being sorted out.
Our Sales Negotiators and Progressors follow your sale through to completion. They chase the solicitors and brokers, check each link in the chain and tell you when something is holding things up, so you don’t have to chase us for news.
Selling a rented or investment property
We manage rented homes across Huntingdonshire, so we know the questions landlords face when they sell. Should you sell with the tenants in place to an investor, or wait for vacant possession and sell to a homeowner? Which will achieve more, and which will be quicker? And with the Renters’ Rights Act now changing how tenancies end, what notice and process will you need to follow?
Our sales and lettings staff work in the same office, so we can answer all of that in one conversation. If we already manage your property, we know the home, the tenancy and the paperwork, which makes it far quicker to get ready for sale.
Selling an HMO? Investors will check licensing and compliance records before they commit, and our HMO service means we know what they’ll ask for.

Selling in Huntingdon: your questions answered
How much is my house worth?
A free face-to-face valuation gives the most reliable answer, because we see your home and compare it with recent local sales. For a rough figure first, try our instant online valuation.
What happens at a 45-minute valuation?
We look round your home, talk through your plans and recommend a sale price with the local evidence behind it. We’ll also explain how we’d market your home. There’s no pressure to sign anything.
Is the valuation free?
Yes. Face-to-face valuations for sale or let are free and carry no obligation.
What does it cost to sell with Belvoir Huntingdon?
It depends on your property and the package you choose. We’ll confirm our fee and what it includes in writing before you agree to anything.
How long does it take to sell a house in Huntingdon?
That depends on your asking price, your property and whether there’s a chain. Once an offer is agreed, the legal work usually takes a few months. We’ll give you a realistic timescale at your valuation.
Can I sell my house with tenants still living in it?
Yes. Some investors prefer a home with a tenant already in place. We’ll compare selling with tenants in situ against selling with vacant possession, including the effect on price and timing and the notice required under the Renters’ Rights Act.
What should I get ready before selling?
You’ll need proof of identity and ownership and a valid Energy Performance Certificate. If your home is leasehold, you’ll also need the lease and details of the ground rent and service charges. Paperwork for any extensions or building work is useful too, and we’ll help you pull it together.
Should I sell without an estate agent?
Some people do. Our guide to what selling without an estate agent really costs in Huntingdon sets out what’s involved, so you can compare.
