WeBuyAnyHouse or WeBuyAnyHome - anyone used them?
Discussion
Our new-build estate is on a "new" bit of a land, not too close to a town, and none of our house type have sold recently so it's hard to know what kind of price we should be thinking about.
Which is why I'm thinking about getting a quote on the WeBuyAnyHouse/WeBuyAnyHome websites... They say they give you a price within 24 hours without even visiting, which is great as we're not actually anywhere near ready to sell, it'll still be 12 months minimum, so at this point I'd just like a better idea of what we could get without having to take time off work for visits, etc.
I'm concerned that if I give them my details I'll be hounded by salesmen and marketing calls for the rest of time.
Has anyone had a quote from either of those sites and can share their experience?

If you want a rough guide work out what houses sell per square foot in your area, then multiply it by how many square feet you have. If you have a new build then look at newer houses on!y (ie no remedial work needed)
Alternatively an estate agent could give you a rough guide just based on some photos and location.

Just phone a few local estate agents and ask them for a very rough valuation over the phone. I'm sure most will oblige (twiddling their thumbs in the current climate apparently) if you're straight with them, and their local knowledge will probably give you a more accurate/reliable figure. You don't know if webuyanyhouse and undervaluing by 10% or 30%, and whatever price they come up with is irrelevant, unless you expect to end up selling to them.
How exactly do you think they will value your property without seeing it? Also the reason you are not sure means they will be even less accurate....
My suggestions is to ring a couple of agents. Tell them your thinking long range, but wonder if they would have ten minutes to give you a view. Someone will be happy to invest the time to build a relationship.

Just go on Zoopla, a well-known website owned by the Daily Mail group, and it will tell you instantly in 1min, for zero hassle, a rough estimate.

Zoopla has nothing to go on. Zoopla is fine for a guide on a normal estate with lots of house sales and a normal house. Chuck anything unusual, or with lack of evidence at it and you are wasting your time.

I know it'll be a low price, but I have very little data at the moment regarding the value of our house. So a low price will help give me an idea.
Just worried about spam...

Just don't... You will only upset yourself. If you purchased your new build for £200k as an example, you won't get them offering much over £150k. They prey on the vulnerable and offer way below market rate, way way below.Which is why I'm thinking about getting a quote on the WeBuyAnyHouse/WeBuyAnyHome websites...

As for Zoopla, our last house was valued on Zoopla £140k more than actual realistic value, so 75% out. Not accurate at all.
Get an actual estate agent out, they will value, you don't have to sell once they value.

But if it's a new build on an estate and he bought it then he knows how much it's worth. Why waste peoples time. If he told me what he paid and when I could tell him!As for Zoopla, our last house was valued on Zoopla £140k more than actual realistic value, so 75% out. Not accurate at all.
