Finding out the true figures?

Hi all.

I hope someone can help. Im looking to find a website which details:

-When a house was put on the market

-How much it went on for

-If/when the asking price was dropped

-What the actual sold price was.

Is there any way to find this out? There are some websites which I've found list sold prices, but not the original asking price or time on the market, and anyhow the most up to date sales I've found are June/ early July.

I've tried searching through other threads, but could only find links to RightMove and upmystreet, and as far as i can work out they dont offer these details?

I'm not hugely great with the net, so please be gentle! Any help most appreciated.

    Property Bee will tell you some of this, for properties on the market, but it won't show sold prices. It isn't 100% accurate either, as the entry for my house is wrong. Sold prices have to come though Land Registry so, as you've discovered, sites like Nethousprices won't have bang up to date details and lag by a good few months.

    Then use nethouseprices to find out what it actually sold for

    Nethouseprices is the most reliable, also try propertysnake.co.uk.
    thisismoney.co.uk is a decent website for general information...

    The information isn't available in one place.
    The information is not always available at all.
  • Why isn't all sold price info available for recent sales?
    I was looking for sold prices in a building in Docklands and, although many of the flats did have 'sold prices', many/some weren't available. The building is only about 5 yrs old so I would assume land registry info was available.

    I've noticed this with a lot of other new build developments. Any idea?

    Some never appear, especially those bought/sold between companies. A lot of investment properties are bought/sold between and through companies.

    Also, sometimes somebody just c0cks up and the information doesn't get entered.
