I don't know if it matters how close you are the the correct answer, but the email I got after I entered said I was entered into the draw and also

In 2005, our 4–bedroom house in NW8 9AS sold for: £1,600,000

how do you enter?

After you've clicked the link, at the bottom of that page you have to 'search now' and on the bottom of the next page it says 'value the property'.
I was so careful with my valuation I entered £16 not £1.6 mill!!! I was still entered into the comp, but the email I got told me I was useless at valuations!

Can't believe I didn't scroll down posts! I just looked at OP and guessed £1605K. Got email back saying very close to £1.6M and have been entered for draw. Now I've just looked at other posts and seen kysira's post with the answer. Doh!

I doubt you did. After reading your email, I triple-checked that I had 1.6 million, and it still told me I'd put down £16. The website is clearly unable to handle words - make sure you put it all down in numbers. I've complained - we'll see what they say.

£1,600,000 is what I accidentally put and it still said I was a hot shot at valuations and that I had put 16M

Um, I think you might have missed a decimal point there somewhere - £1.6M is what the house was valued at, and that's the same as £1,600,000, so i imagine if you look at that email again, it'll have said 1.6M, not 16.
