    A random pick...
    Lot number 19
    Last sold in 2000 for £76k
    Repossession
    Sold in auction for £91k

    HPI? That's under £2k/year.

    Well, the significance is that there have been several threads about auctions not selling one property - let alone over 600 - or that the prices had plummetted.

    I thought it would be of genuine interest to everyone to get a balanced view.:confused:

    Most of them are untraceable. I can't find them on Land Registry to get a "bought for/when" price/date. So after I checked/couldn't see about 6 I stopped bothering.

    very interesting most of them have sold but are most of them repossessions???

    If they are do the creditors not set a reserve? or do they just get as much as they can?

    Obviously if you were a private seller and you put your property through a auction you would set a reserve, but if they are reposessions dont the banks want claw as much money back as they can?

    just had another look and thought i would add this, this was the first one i looked at and it looks like some has just bought a bargain.
    This house went for 129.000 pound now if you search the postcode TW13 6UE the last time houses where sold down this road in the last 2 years were for just over 200,000 pounds.


    So it looks like there are some bargains, its nearly 40% off the 2007's prices, i bet the people who bought last year will be gutted when they find out how much this went for.
