Help! Just broken my house on zoopla :-(

Should have gone to Everest!

Put a copy of the Daily Express in the living room and give it some flock wallpaper. That should do the trick!
I allowed for a Juliette balcony and we do have gigantic windows (being in an Ugly House built circa 1968....but sooooo easy to live in
) but tonight I will add some luxe features....and leave the valuation sitting there.:D 0 -
Actually, it's a very good tool...what was it? An algorythm.....to see what adds ''value'' and what doesn't. I will add a loft conversion too....even though in our house you would have to take the entire roof off + rebuild it to do one.0

My house is worth more than the others in the street, because it is mine and I know it is and anyone that says otherwise is obviously wrong.0

None of my neighbours places come up.....there are 4 plus a vicarage (which makes my St sound very Joanna Trollope
....which it so isn't
)....I am wondrering how I edit their places....guessing another e-mail and a login?
I might add every improvement later on....will report back.0 -

I didn't lie about anything, and it told me this place was worth £175k more than we paid last year.
Mind you, no algorhythm could possibly know how naff the conservatory, the utility and two of the bathrooms are, but they're there and being counted.
Frankly, I reckon I might get £35k more than last year's price, but only because it doesn't now smell of dog and random other animals.
Anyway, as LIR is not around, I could probably sell it to someone horsey, as they don't usually give a stuff about decor.:rotfl:0 -

I am missing LIR badly......DD is pestering me to go down her way so maybe soon. You know how it is being S/E? If you leave it for a second it feels like it's all going to run away from you.....quite irrational...but feels real.
I think you should add on lot's of improvements and try for a 250k uplift
I will see how much I can raise mine to later. I am guessing adding 1000 sq ft expension might get the prize for highest Zoopla uplift.:cool:0 -
Oh yes...I have just added a stonking......
.....£63k to my valuation. Yay..:T0
