How to compare quotes for real estate

Cheapest is not the same as best value for real estate. A slightly higher quote with a complete scope and no open-ended extras is often safer than the lowest figure with caveats.

Timing your real estate

For real estate, same-day and after-hours call-outs sit at the top of the range. A standard appointment booked in advance gives you the best chance of the typical figure.

Who sets real estate prices

There is no fixed tariff for real estate. The figure is set by the provider's own economics, covering labour, materials, travel and availability, so it varies by company and by season.

How many quotes should I get for real estate?
