this calculator has come within 5% of a couple of my friends "actual" valuation's aswell as my own.
be interested to see how others find the results.

That seems pretty good WBB. Just tried it with my house in UK - last had it valued in '98. It's come in at a couple of % more than what the house over the road sold for 4 months ago.

It came pretty close on my parents house although it can't take into account building work, renovations etc, so it came in below the actual value. However still a 240% increase which has got to be good

Wow - talk about accurate - it was £385 out from the amount we got for it in October last year! Amazing what it's worth now though...

Yeah I have just had a try and it seems pretty accurate.
I had a valuation end of April this year and had another one done yesterday and I was suprised to see that it was valued at 5k more.
The valuer said we could probably ask more although in her recommendation if we are after a quick sale she advised the lower figure.

House up with an agent on Monday as we have had no joy trying to sell privately.

mine was close..
it only works for the 'regions', where there were percentage point rises over the last 3 years.
If you live in an area where schools and massive desirabilty then that will have the biggest effect , (or not). London is like this. The calculator was fine for poorer areas of London but not the desirable ones - it was too low!

Mine was out by 45k. It's too general & does not take into account local conditions.

Re: Uk house values
It did not give me a acurate figure either, it must work on avereage regional prices. It would be better if it worked by post code.

It doesn't really get the postcodes right either. It puts Wokingham, Berkshire into Outer Metropolitan.
