I put in terraced and am delighted with the results! I'm not trusting it though, it's to good to be true. It says it's worth £99.6k when the agents said £85-95k but they thought most likely £88k.
You need to be a little carefull, the reason you pay agents is they know the local market and will advice you with the most recent market in mind. I personally wouldn’t pay much attention to these websites but remember if an agent says 85-95 you can put it on at what you want but just be realistic so say £99500 for a few weeks then if things aren’t moving move it down to closer to what they said.
After all a house is only worth what someone will pay for it. Stupid saying but its very true, the problem is you need a good proactive agent to get that person in the door.0 -
I would suggest "Terraced" as you have neighbours on 2 adjoining sides.0

It's a block of four houses in a square, with one house on each corner. So we're attached to the left and the back.
I don't think it's a flat because we've got an upstairs and a downstairs.
What would you call it?

If the agents have priced it lower than zoopla's guesstimate, then I'd say go with the agent valuation ... and even THEY will be over-doing it a bit. Agents tend to over-quote a bit - and - they expect an offer to usually come in under the price tag anyway.0

I lived in one of those and called it a 'back-to-back terrace'. Loved it!0

It's called a Q-type house but that doesn't mean anything to most people.
