Tried it, but I found that judging by a single picture whether my house is 'more' or 'less' is too limiting. I honestly tried to tweak it afterward to see if the valuation would make a bit more sense, but it didn't.
FYI I bought my house 415k 2 years ago, zoopla tells me it's now worth 550k, and 'getagent' first estimate was... >900k! After tweaking it was still 770k (!) - Mind you some rather shitty houses seems to have sold for quite a lot but still...

I live in a dorma bungalow and it only showed me pictures of houses (which generally cost a little more), may be worthwhile asking a few more questions about the type of property than just how many bedrooms?

So that is... traditionally very inflated so you are tempted to sell it, and they will lower the price afterward once you're committed because they are not paid a percentage anyway.
