How VALO works
Homes like yours, explained.
VALO helps you understand what your home is worth and meet local agents who know homes like yours. Here’s how the estimate is calculated, how agents are chosen and how we make money.

The estimate
Your value, shown by homes like yours.
The estimate comes from similar homes nearby. Every figure is calculated from them, never invented to fill a gap.
Find homes like yours
Homes for sale of the same property type, 70–130% of your built area, with the same number of bedrooms or one more or fewer, less than 3 km away and seen in the last 90 days.
Set aside what doesn’t fit
Adverts we can match to the same home count once. Prices per m² far from the rest are left out.
Work from the middle
We take the median price per m² of up to 20 of the closest homes and multiply it by your built area.
Show a range, not just a number
For now, the range is 15% either side of the estimate. We’ll narrow it once we can measure how accurate we are.
No evidence, no estimate.
If we find fewer than 15 comparable homes, we don’t show a figure. We tell you why instead.
- Asking prices, not sale prices
- All comparable homes are advertised listings. Their asking prices show the market, but they are not confirmed sale prices.
- An estimate, not a formal valuation
- It is a starting point for your decisions. It doesn’t replace a visit from a professional or a formal valuation.
Choosing agents
Up to three local offices, chosen for relevance.
Agents pay to be shown. They can never pay to be ranked higher.
Proven similar sales
Checked sales from the last 24 months of homes like yours: the same type, a similar size and number of bedrooms, within 3 km.
Proximity
How close the office is to your home.
Verified reviews
Client ratings that have been checked before they count.
- Only offices approved by a VALO reviewer from outside the office, and covering your area and price range, can appear.
- Sales and reviews count only once they’ve been checked.
- Each office takes one place at most, even if it has several addresses.
- If fewer offices qualify, you see fewer. We never fill a place with an office that doesn’t.
- Your contact details play no part in the ranking.
How we make money
Free for owners. Paid by agents, for visibility only.
We would rather tell you how VALO makes money than have you wonder.
For agents
Pay per valuation view.
When paid visibility starts, an office will pay once for each valuation it appears on, at a price it has accepted, within its balance and monthly limit. No membership is needed. Appearing again in the same journey, or receiving an enquiry you choose to send, will cost it nothing extra.
Offices don’t pay for your contact details, and payment can’t buy a higher place in the ranking.
Your details
Your details stay yours.
We ask for contact details because your report and any follow-up need somewhere to go.
- To open your full report, you give us your name, email and mobile number.
- We use them for your report and, only if you choose, to follow up with help. That follow-up can include the offices shown on your valuation.
- An office sees your details only after you tap Contact me on it and confirm exactly what is shared. A request you’ve sent can’t be withdrawn.
- For up to 30 days, your private report link lets you change or stop follow-up from VALO.
