I'm trying to find the last sold price for a house we are interested in but despite searching on all the usual websites I can't find it even though the vendors say they've been there only 4 years. Can you withold this info then? Or does it mean it was a certain type of sale or a gift? Or are they fibbing??
Any advice much appreciated!

No, they could have bought it at auction, it could have been a repossession as well.
Not all make it onto the websites.
If you go to the Land registry website, you can search the title deeds, its costs about £4 and it will tell you last price purchased.0 -
Thank you! I hadn't thought about auction. I'll have a look at the land registry.0

Hi,
I have the same problem with a property I am interested in even on the Land Registry doesn't have this information. Therefore, I am unable to find the sold price of the property.0 -
Just found this info on mouseprice
Why is a property transaction not listed?
If you cannot find a specific property transaction, the most probable reason is that you are searching with an incorrect postcode. If you have searched thoroughly by postcode and by address and have not found the transaction you are looking for, there are three possible reasons for it not being listed. Firstly, that the transaction took place recently and has not yet been processed by the Land Registry. In this case the details will be available shortly. The recording process normally takes a couple of months. In rare instances (and cases of dispute) this process can last for much longer. A second possible reason is that the property might not be recorded in the Land Registry electronic dataset. This can be the case if a property has not been bought or sold since 1995. The final possible explanation is that through error, the Land Registry may not have added the details to their database.0 -
We bought our house in march 2010 for cash and to this day it has yet to show on any site as sold....i wonder how many they miss?It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.0
