Zoopla SOLD History Wrong..

Hi
I know people talk about the guesstimate price been wrong.
But beware our house which is on the market , has the historic sold totally wrong.
Price for a totally different house in a different year. Problem is the house price is £50,000 out , so we hope this hasn't affected people wanting to view our property.
So agree with everybody else .. Zoopla is a good fun tool, but very inaccurate .. Better to use rightmove and see the actual house prices by # and date.
Via, our estate agents they accept it is a bug in their software but not sure when they will fix it. I can't find any disclaimer on there, can I report to any body or financial institution ? They offered to pull the house from the website, as that is the only option availabl ! !!!:mad:
Has anybody had this problem ?

I would want to check that land registry had recorded the correct price.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages, student & coronavirus Boards, money saving boards.

Best option is to take up zoopla on the offer to pull the listing. I am sure that there are some who take it as definitive, but there probably are not too many who do. And I doubt that there are many who won't view because of a zoopla listing - the point at which zoopla is most likely to be taken into account is when composing an offer, I would think. So you could always point out the error to viewers.
The other site to check is http://www.houseprices.co.uk/.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
Nothing worng with land registry we aren't on there - which is where the problem comes I think !
Zoopla just totally mismatched the land registry to the address - muppets!
Yeh - we only spotted it recently and house been on the market a while, we told the last people who viewed but they hadn't used zoopla anyway.Give somebody a hug it costs nothing

Is it wrong on houseprices.co.uk as well?
They had the same incorrect price as Zoopla on one we checked0 -
It doesn't matter at all.
A house is worth what someone will pay for it not what zoopla thinks.
Our road is all total twaddle.
Zoopla reckoned one house was worth £374,000
Sold for 1.2 million.
They reckon ours is worth less than next door- ours has both a building plot and a garden- theirs has a yard. Both are estimated at laughable sums.
It's all rubbish. Just laugh and move on.June challenge £100 a day £3161.63 plus £350 vouchers plus £108.37 food/shopping saving
July challenge £50 a day. £ 1682.50/1550
October challenge £100 a day. £385/£31000 -
Most people know that, I am sure. But there are still some who believe it because it is on the internet. OP has a justified concernpleasedelete wrote: »It doesn't matter at all.
