For homeowners
Picking a tool to value your home?
Honest comparisons against the big property portals UK homeowners use to find out what their home is worth.
ValuQ vs Rightmove →
Real valuations vs instant estimates
Rightmove’s instant valuation is an algorithm. ValuQ shows 3–5 real local agent valuations side by side. When to use each. And why most homeowners need both.
ValuQ vs Zoopla →
Zoopla Estimate vs real agent valuations
Zoopla Estimate and the Zed-Index are great for tracking trends. ValuQ gets you anonymous, written valuations from real agents. For the moment you actually want to sell.
For estate agents
Comparing lead sources for your agency?
Honest comparisons against the lead sources UK estate agents actually run side by side.
ValuQ vs GetAgent →
Pay-per-lead vs flat subscription
GetAgent sells seller contact details per lead. ValuQ sends you structured briefs on a flat monthly subscription. When each model wins. And when it doesn’t.
ValuQ vs ValPal →
Marketplace vs on-site widget
ValPal captures leads from your own website visitors. ValuQ generates external leads from sellers who’ve never heard of you. Why many agents run both.
ValuQ vs Rightmove / Zoopla / OnTheMarket leads →
Portal lead packages vs external marketplace
Portal leads can cost £30k+ per branch per year. A cost-per-lead reality check against ValuQ. And when portals are still worth it.
Why we write these
You deserve an honest comparison. Including ours.
Most “us vs them” pages are written to make the competitor look bad. That’s not useful if you’re an agent trying to decide where to spend your lead budget. So we write these the other way around: start with what the other platform genuinely does well, then explain where ValuQ fits and where it doesn’t.
If another platform is the better fit for your agency right now, we’ll tell you. If you should run ValuQ alongside something else, we’ll say that too. The pages are written for agents, not for our marketing funnel.
