Valuing Your Property
In order to establish a rental value for your property, Christopher Rawlinson & Co will visit to perform a market analysis. This takes into account factors such as the desirability of the area, local rental market trends, property condition, and comparable properties in the area to calculate the 'estimated rental value' of your property.
We then use this figure to arrive at your rental price. There is no charge for a valuation.
To request a market appraisal from Christopher Rawlinson & Co you can either:
- Visit our office
- Call us on 020 8904 0111
- Email us at [email protected]

Preparing Your Property For Let
First impressions are lasting and good presentation can dramatically increase the prospect of finding a quality tenant quickly.
Check Your Kerb Appeal. Make sure your front door is clean, well maintained and welcoming – a fresh coat of paint will immediately give a positive first impression
De-clutter. A tidy property suggests that storage space is not a problem, so clear away any unnecessary items
Have the carpets professionally cleaned and bring paintwork back to life with touch-ups or a fresh coat
Replace any discoloured grouting and sealant in the kitchen and bathroom
Ensure all appliances are in good working order and provide instruction manuals
Make sure all the lights work and the house is well-lit – even during the day
Keep the windows sparkling clean, inside and out to maximise the impression of space and light
Ensure the property meets all safety regulations including gas safety certificates and smoke alarms
