Seems like a lot of people here living in tulip houses but with nice neighbours.

Ours do

Rubbish! Apparently, the identical house over the road is worth £40K more.

Agreed. My next door neighbour's house, is, apparently, worth £200K more than mine... impressive stuff, given that the houses are terraced, my place is end of terrace and next to a luxury development, with nicer decor, etc.

I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought the house we're renting would cost close to £550k to buy. Apparently it's only £447k.

Boomed - if we can persuade the wizened old landlord to sell up in 12 months time. And mortgages are still available...

Same kind of thing with me.

Although I did find the house next door, almost identical, sold for £8,500 in 2002.

Same with me. Mine was listed at land registry price from purchase last year: surely that cannot be the value now. Next door is listed at 20k higher, which must be an extrapolation since they bought it in the 1970s.

What people really want to know now is how much it has fallen in the last year.

Looking closer, it seems my neighbours place, which is exactly the same as mine but with a much smaller plot, is worth £20K more than mine. I put that down to the discounted price I paid being used to generate the valuation in some way.

Horses for courses...

I'm quite happy with that, given the doom news...

[Spacecadet]

just had a look

it's either over priced my house by 20% or I paid 20% less than the market price for it

Anyone seen http://www.mouseprice.com/default.aspx

I have registered (takes 2 minutes) and you can put in any postcode and select a property and it gives you an estimate of the current value (updated monthly) based on a number of factors which they say is pretty accurate.

I had my house valued recently and the system here was spot on.

Interesting some houses for sale when put into this system appear to be very overvalued.

Home owners really haven't woken up to the reality of house prices post credit crunch.

Give it a try.
