11 of the 17 Preston offices agreed 20 or more sales last year, enough of a record to judge. Ask two or three that sell homes like yours to value it, then compare how fast they sell (the Preston median is 39 days) and how close they get to the asking price (97.8% here), not only the valuation they quote.
