    I'd be careful about using Zoopla as any kind of benchmark.

    The house next door to us is smaller than ours, doesn't have a driveway(unlike ours) and yet, because it sold for an extortionate price at the top of the market in 2004, it's currently valued higher than ours by Zoopla.

    They take a snapshot based on available information, nothing more.

    If its marketed at offers over £100k I'd think 95 is a reasonable offer.
    I don't want to sound rude but here are my thoughts:

    The sofas make your lounge look tiny and its a funny shape. What it the void/cupboard area?

    The beds not being on bases also makes the rooms look very small, and it doesn't look like a family house, it looks like a student house.

    It looks like it needs some TLC, some repairs doing to fixtures and fittings, painting and decorating, garden clearing and re landscaped or a basic overhaul. In my honest opinion 95k seems a good offer.

    How much are you hoping for?

    I agree and also the photos don't help for example photo 12 shows a marked wall and doesn't add anything. I'm going to sound horrible now but I'd consider a big tidy and then new pictures.

    I agree, the bedroom photos make the rooms look tiny. My first thought was that you'd never get any furniture in other than the bed, so where would I put my clothes.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
