How common is it/likely am I to be told to fuck off if I just want a valuation before deciding whether or not to move? How much equity we have is going to be a big factor in what we do next. So don't want to start with photos, putting the place on the market immediately, etc.
Have just done exactly this. Two valuations within £10k of each other, which pretty much confirmed our rational expectations. One was quite salesey and spoke to us for about 45 minutes, the other was in and out in 15 minutes.
