Be very cautious when asking Dexters Kingston to value a house for sale. They did so for us in October 2017 and brought along a handful of brochures for comparable sales they had apparently made. We fact-checked the sold prices via the land registry and found that they had inflated the prices of all 3 properties for which they provided sold prices. House at £595k on Shortlands Road they claimed to have sold for asking price actually went for £565k, House on York Road claimed asking price of £515k actually went for £472.5k, Shortlands Road at £675k claimed 'just under asking price' actually went for £650k. This seems like very shabby practice to us and I would recommend avoiding them.
