I think in some ways you're better off assessing by looking at images/location/floorplan, etc rather than exactly how it's advertised.
There's no ultimate formula for assessing a price, estate agents come up with different values, owners overrule them, people are greedy or desperate, etc. Some will go for more than asking, some less.
I viewed shitloads of properties as I was looking in an area local to where I lived and it was easy to do viewings. Seeing so many was beneficial though so I wouldn't not view places unless viewings are really awkward.

The one we made the offer on pre-Covid was listed on the Thursday for 400k OIEO, we viewed on Saturday (with a constant stream of other people) and offered 400k, it sold on Monday morning for 450k+. It was nice, but not that nice...
Asking the question because we're now in a position to start looking again, with an offer our current place. But I don't want to waste time viewing properties that are listed within budget, but will realistically end up selling for more than we can afford. If that makes sense.
