How accurate are Zoopla property price estimates

[iamreally]

Just that really - have any of you who have sold recently know how accurate these are for those of us outside the London property bubble?
TIA

Hit or miss. They have my friends house at about £200,000 more than it would sell for - because she had it in the market last year and it didn't sell. And we aren't talking 1m plus but £580k. But my own house was pretty close to what I just sold it for.

It’s quite a large corridor they give, from x to y, so as a guideline is useful and fairly accurate that your house price would fall somewhere between the highest and lowest price. But it doesn’t take into account any improvements made or if you’ve not maintained it so reduced its value.

But the guideline is way out in the case of both our house and the extremely well-maintained houses of two immediate neighbours who all sold recently.

Depends on how 'standard' for the road the house is. This road has a lot of 'one offs' of ages from 1800s to the 1950s from terraced through semis to large detacheds so it's not all that accurate. I struggle to believe our house has 'gone up' between 30 and 60 thou since we bought it two years ago as they suggest it has, especially given Zoopla doesn't 'know' the improvements we have made to it. Having said that, there's a house just gone up for sale on the road which is asking what I'd call totally insane money, so if asking prices are factored in, that might explain it. Our previous house, which was the same as many other 1960s houses on the road, it was pretty close.
