What is my House Worth?
How much should you sell your house for? A useful indicator is how much houses sold for in your area.
It is now much easier to research these prices thanks to the Land Registry who publish this information on the internet.
All you have to do is input the postcode / street name of your area and the computer will do the rest.
Armed with this information you will be better prepared to sell at the right price.
The Land Registry is a government department, so you will be getting your price information "from the horse's mouth".
However they do charge £3 for each title register, and there are now property websites that provide this information for free.
These websites pay to use the Land Registry information, and recoup their costs by advertising products on their website.
Have a look at the Land Registry's website:

Using Zoopla
There is a useful online resource at Zoopla,
where they will give you an instant and free valuation of your house.
Using Estate Agents
Another way to get a valuation on your house is to ask some estate agents to come and value it for sale. We would recommend
that you ask three different firms so that you can take an average of the valuations if they differ.
Remember also that houses do not necessarily sell for the advertised asking price, as there may be some haggling during the
sales process.
