Previous land registry sold price wrong?

A house we looked at a few months ago is now showing on the rightmove sold price section as having sold for 180k. It was on for 130k, the house literally next door was on for offers in excess of 120k at the same time this was on the market and the house four doors down sold for 122k in September 2011.
The one which sold for 122k was in a modern 'move in' condition and had a garage - the one which is showing as having sold for 180k had no central heating, no fitted kitchen to speak of and no garage (it was a probate sale). The houses are all identical in size and layout, bar a conservatory on the 180k one.
Does it seem likely that it's simply a mistake? Can't for the life of me see anybody paying much over 120k for it. This is a 'just out of interest' question really - it makes no difference to me it's just that I periodically check the sold prices of properties that I had saved in rightmove to get an idea of property values.
