A new digital valuation tool promises to help estate and letting agency owners quickly gauge the worth of their businesses – without the need for meetings, phone calls or red tape.
Launched by Atomic Consultancy, a leading advisory firm specialising in estate agency acquisitions, the tool offers a free, one-minute estimate of an agency’s value based on just five key data points, including annual turnover, recurring income and location.
The release comes amid growing interest in the acquisitions market, particularly within the lettings sector, where consistent revenue streams and operational resilience are increasingly attractive to buyers and investors.
Atomic Consultancy, which was named ESTAS Acquisition Services Supplier of the Year in both 2023 and 2024, says the tool was designed for business owners who are thinking about the future – but not yet ready to enter formal discussions.
MARKET MOVEMENTS
Lucy Noonan, founder of Atomic Consultancy, says: “We created the estimator for agents who want to understand the potential value of their business but aren’t quite ready to engage in a full valuation or sales process.
“It’s intended to be quick, private and helpful, especially for those planning ahead or keeping an eye on market movements.”
The online estimator, accessible via Atomic’s website, provides users with a personalised valuation range by email in less than a minute. No consultant contact is required and no data is shared beyond the tool’s secure interface.
SCALABILITY
Atomic reports an uptick in acquisition interest across the UK, with lettings portfolios attracting particular attention due to their recurring income profiles and scalability. The consultancy believes that improving access to valuation tools can help agency owners make more informed decisions, whether considering a sale, merger or simply assessing current performance.
For those seeking a more detailed appraisal, Atomic also offers a full valuation service at no cost, which takes into account portfolio structure, brand equity and future growth potential.
