Scheduled fee vs Quoted valuation orders

When you need a valuation, you have two clear-cut options for how the price is set and how quickly you can expect the service: Scheduled Fee orders and Quoted orders.

It's important to note that for both order types, your valuation can only begin once full payment has been made.

Scheduled Fee Orders

• How it works: The price for your valuation is locked in the moment you create your order. There's no waiting for offers or comparing costs.

• Benefits: These orders typically have a quicker turnaround time. Because there are fewer steps involved before payment can be made, your valuation can often get started sooner.

Quoted Orders

• How it works: Instead of a pre-set fee, valuers will send you their individual quotes for your order. You then get to review these quotes and pick the one that works best for you.

• Considerations: The quotes you receive could be higher, lower, or the same as a Scheduled Fee. While this offers the potential for competitive pricing, it also means a slightly longer turnaround time as you wait for quotes to come in and then make your selection before payment can be made and the valuation started.

These are the only two ways to process a valuation order, ensuring you always have a clear choice based on your priorities for speed and pricing flexibility.
