When it’s time to sell surplus machinery, one of the biggest challenges is knowing what your equipment is really worth. Set the price too high and buyers lose interest. Set it too low and you risk losing thousands of pounds. That’s where professional valuations make all the difference.

Why Machinery Valuation Matters

Accurate Pricing – Reflects true market demand for your machine.

Faster Sales – Buyers are more likely to move quickly when the price is realistic.

Fair Returns – Protects you from underselling valuable equipment.

Better Negotiations – Having expert-backed numbers gives you confidence.

What Affects Machinery Value?

Age & Usage – Older machines with high hours may depreciate faster.

Condition – Well-maintained machines hold their value longer.

Brand Reputation – Recognised brands (Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain, etc.) often sell for more.

Market Demand – Popular models fetch higher prices when demand is strong.

Documentation – Service history and test records boost credibility.

Risks of Skipping Valuation

Overpricing leads to unsold equipment.

Underpricing results in lost capital.

Relying on guesswork or outdated book values can cause costly mistakes.
