Leave Zoopla alone, my property value has skyrocketed on it in the last month or so. Keep it going I say

Amazing! It’s even worse than it used to be. They now seem to give huge ranges rather than a single figure.

We sold in late 2018 for £615k and it says £582k-711k. Next door, which last sold 19 years ago, has a range half that size at £600-666k. How does that work? Surely the longer ago the last sale, the greater the uncertainty on the value. :rotfl:

There’s people on the Trustpilot reviews talking about it being defamation. :rotfl:

The OP hasn't been back to comment further and fight her corner on the 'SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS' of this.

It's not only houses that are being devalued; being outraged obviously isn't what it used to be either.

I'm going to use the Zoopla estimate of £887k for my property to shoot down all of Crashytime's assertions that the housing market is falling through the floor. Mickey Mouse v Mickey Mouse. :rotfl:

I was going to say "They're about as reliable as each other", but I think that's a bit harsh...

On Zoopla.

Not a chance. Aside from the fact a property can't be defamed, defamation would require that "reasonable, ordinary people" believe what Zoopla is saying is true.
