    will give you the prices paid for all housed sold in the UK over the last few years. Maybe that will be of some use.

    There are many others too, but the one above is free and easy to use.

    This is a house price calculator. If you can find out the current value, you can work out the value 3 years ago

    If you don't get any joy from the house price websites, the Land Registry produces quarterly house price reports. If you're prepared to do a bit of maths, you can check average house prices for your county/borough for now and 3 1/2 years ago and compare the percentage increase to a current valuation from an EA. IYSWIM!

    EDIT: Alternatively, you could use the calculator above which will do it for you! Didn't see that post when I started typing, lol :o

    If it's important, then get an EA in and ask for a realistic valuation. It's free and you're not obliged to sign up.

    unfortunately it isnt my property....... the subject is a little odd and possibly controversial and the people involved are very close to me, I have started another thread using the info from this one....
