Use Firefox then install the Property Bee extension. You can then see all amendments to prices and descriptions since the property was listed on Rightmove.

Won't work if the vendor has changed EAs.

You can often tell if a property has changed agents because the new agents take a picture of the front of the house with the old estate agents board outside!

Also, if you find that the for sale board is displayed on google streetview and the property hasn't actually sold anytime in the last 3 years you know it's been for sale for a while :-D

I always use mouseprice.com as it gives the number of days on the market and price history

Great tip, thank you! I just found that the flat I have an offer on originally went on the market in July 2010 for £40,000 more than the asking price in October 2010 when I saw it. (And we got even more money off it.) That explains so much!
