TrustpilotI get my alerts regularly
I get my alerts regularly, but I keep getting house share properties in my e mails, we are on a tight budget, therefore the rent we can afford is fairly low, I am not interested in any house share properties, I set up ignore student properties & house share in my searches, yet you still send me these properties which I find really annoying!

I've had a very bad experience, looking for a property, agreed to move in and then they invented some conditions I could never comply with, just because there was someone else in the queue, more important.

Hi Kim,Thank you for your review and we're really sorry to hear about your bad experience. All the for sale/to rent information on Zoopla is provided to us by the estate agents advertising the properties who are subject to our terms and conditions and code of conduct. When the status of their properties changes to either 'let' or ‘sold’, we request they mark the property as 'Let agreed' or ‘Sold STC’ on Zoopla if this is the case, but unfortunately, it seems sometimes this is not always done immediately resulting in our users finding listings in search results they did not expect. Listings generally take no longer than 24 hours to disappear from the website after the agent has requested its removal unless there was a technical error which we would be able to confirm.Our aim is to ensure that all information on our site is as comprehensive and accurate as possible so next time you see this it would be very helpful if you could select the ‘report listing’ option on the listing’s page. We will then investigate the issue further by speaking to the agent advertising the property.You can report any listing to us easily by following the steps outlined in this article: https://help.zoopla.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/360006033017If there's anything else we can do to help you with, be sure to visit our Help Centre:https://help.zoopla.co.uk/Many thanks,Zoopla Support

Hi Heather,Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We're really sorry to hear you feel this way about our house price valuation model.Whether we display a Zoopla estimate for a property or not depends on the amount of data we have available for that home and for similar properties in the area. Our mission is to provide data on all homes in the UK - over 29 million currently. We aim to be as informative as possible and if we have sufficient information to create an estimate for a property, an estimated price range will automatically be generated.If you wish to know the real value of your property or if you have recently refurbished your property by making material changes to its size or configuration, we strongly suggest speaking to one of our estate agents who will inspect your home and take into account its unique features.

Hi,Many thanks for your feedback. We're really sorry to hear you feel this way about our house price valuation model.The Zoopla Automated Valuation Model was ahead of its time when it was launched in 2008 delivering property level valuations for consumers. We have recently upgraded all price estimates from the Zoopla valuation model to a newer model developed by automated valuer specialists Hometrack. Hometrack, which is part of Zoopla, is the UK’s largest automated valuer of residential property. Their data is relied upon by 85% of UK mortgage lenders today.When changing from one modelled price estimate to another, it’s natural that prices will change, with some properties increasing and others decreasing in price estimate. Some of these changes will be small (e.g. less than +/- 10%) while others will be larger. Above-average variations will be largely a result of changing property characteristics and the comparability of the property to the local market.However, we do want to give our users the most accurate house price estimates possible and we’re always looking for new ways to improve. Therefore, we'll reach out to you shortly to look into your property's estimated house price range in more detail.Many thanks,Zoopla Support

Hi Sue,Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. We're really sorry to hear you feel this way about our valuation model.The Zoopla house price estimate is based on data fed through an automated valuation model (AVM), which analyses property information on all 29 million UK homes on a continuous basis. Our data comes from multiple sources based on a number of data points relating to property sales, values and home characteristics throughout the UK, including publicly available data such as that from HM Land Registry and Registers of Scotland.The accuracy of Zoopla estimates is influenced by a number of factors such as the current market values of homes, the quality of the information available on the given property and the availability of comparable properties in the area. This means that unique properties or those where the housing market is slower, may experience less accurate estimates.We receive new data all the time and above-average variations will be largely a result of changing property characteristics and the comparability of the property to the local market. Therefore, discrepancies and/or increases or decreases such as you have outlined are not unusual.Here is a Help Centre article that will give you more information on where we get our data from:https://help.zoopla.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/360005677897If you wish to contact us directly with your feedback and discuss it in more detail, you may do so via our designated Help Centre:https://help.zoopla.co.uk/Many thanks,Zoopla Support
