Ask the seller?

Property Bee is very helpful for this at http://www.property-bee.com/. You do need to install Firefox to run it but that's not a problem as you can run it alongside Internet Explorer. You tick to work in a "Bee" which means that you can share information with/from other people looking at the same house. The only snag is that Estate Agents are getting wise to it and take properties off the market and put them back on to wipe the history occasionally. I'm not explaing it particularly well!!!! If you only want to look at one property, PM me the details and I'll look it up for you.

Alternatively, you can ask the Estate Agent - I'm sure you'll get an honest answer..........

Property-Bee lead me to http://propertysnake.co.uk/ which seems to do the same thing but without you installing anything - a house I was looking at this morning has been on the market 77 days and gone down 8%...

Also look at http://www.houseprices.co.uk - see what the property last sold for and when and what identical/similar properties (i.e. if you are looking in a street of very similar properties) have sold for.

http://www.zoopla.co.uk/ might help too, but I don't know how accurate it's calculations are...

thanks for your help but also i have now installed this and not sure how it works as for every one of my save properties, it says 'initial entry 30 jan 09, which of course is today, so how do i look to see when it came on and the prices?

You have to make sure you work in a bee (it's in options)

puddy

ah, is that what all those questions were? i will change it then

puddy

oh, when i go into options, the bit where it says, work in a bee, is shaded, i cant click on it. is that because i didnt register when i installed it? what can i do
