We're looking to buy shortly and so have been keeping our eye on properties that come up for sale and if they sell, what they've sold for.
I understand that these sites get their house price data from the land registry, is this data reasonably reliable? Is there anyway to query a price you think is incorrect?
In the past year, there have been 4 houses up for sale on the same street and all have sold within 4 months of each other. All 2 bed semis, built at the same time but in various states of repair. Two that needed some work went for 95k and 103k, one that I would have said needed nothing doing at all sold for 127k. The fourth house says it was sold for 195k, and it just seems that can't be right. Average house price for the street at the beginning of 2008 was 145 and it's not 120 (street also has detached and 3 bed houses on).
