    No I don't think you can.
    The info is supplied by the Land Registry.

    Why would you need/want to remove it? What does it matter what you paid for it?
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    jeez ok i guess i was waiting for a letter from the land registry for confirmation if i want my house price to be released in the public domain.
    oh well :rolleyes:

    out of interest... do estate agents/valuators etc use this data to price say house on my street etc? as i kind of paid above the odds a little as i absolutly fell in love with the house and see a lot of potential.

    Don't need a letter, it IS the public domain.

    Of course past sales are used in valuations, but by virtue of the fact that it probably isn't worth what you paid for it anyhow, it doesn't really matter.

    Looking for a further loan based upon a valuation by any chance?

    Some of the Home Buyer companies which tend to offer 75% of value for a quick sale are known to use the data from similar proerties in the same location to come up with their initial valuations
