Alto has rolled out a new property valuation report for estate agents in a bid to boost leads and appeal to more customers.

The free tool provides an opportunity for agents to use the information in a report to prepare for a market appraisal with a potential vendor or by using it to have a detailed conversation with an applicant about a property they are interested in.

The tool, which can be accessed directly from individual property record pages, provides agents with information about the property including:

• Sales history

• Price analysis

• Nearby properties on the market (for sale and rent)

• EPC rating

• Local crime rates

• Local planning information

• Local schools and transport details

• Internet speeds

The report collates data from a wide range of sources including Alto’s sister company Zoopla, Ofsted, DLUHC and Ofcom.

Alto users can also now filter the report by the radius of nearby properties and the number of bedrooms, making it easier for them to answer specific questions from potential vendors and applicants.

The report is printable if agents wish to take a physical copy with them to a viewing, or it can alternatively be accessed on the go via Alto Mobile.

Alto, part of Houseful, says that the tool has received positive feedback from agents since its launch with 78% of users describing the data displayed in the report as “useful”.

Riccardo Dawson, chief operating officer at Alto and Houseful, said: “We’re excited to roll out property valuation reports completely free of charge to Alto customers. Arming Alto agents with best-in-class insights is a simple way to help them stay ahead of the competition.

“Our property valuation reports not only support agents with winning new business but also give them additional context on their local market with intel on key considerations for buyers including crime rates, quality of local schools and flood risk.”
