Are rightmove sold prices always correct?

I've just been browsing my neighbourhood sold prices and I came across the flat that was on a market for an asking price £649950 and apparently the same property sold in April this year for £249950 - a massive 400k less! I seriously doubt that the price drop was that much, so it's either wrong information or stamp duty dodge.
Has anyone else come across something similar?

Link to the page and look at the properties under "no longer at market"
