Is there anyway I can find my house details online
even though I took it off the market in July? Last week I was googling my new property (I'm buying a house across the road from where I live now) and I stumbled across my current property. I've just got round to looking again and i can't find it. Is there anyway of getting an archive to zoopla or the EA? Thanks
