Every month I get an e-mail from Zoopla saying what they think my house is worth - no doubt based just on recent sales in the area.

They also include the option to receive a cash quote to buy it. Out of interest, I did this one month and the offer was considerably less than what they had just said the house was worth although, bearing in mind the cost of closing and the time taken, some may think it worthwhile.

What are your views on selling on-line, rather than through an agent?
