So you've seen the property you want and not sure what offer to put in or maybe how long is left on a lease,or maybe you are just inquisitive ?

Then use this very useful tool,it could save you thousands.

Download a plan or register for the house you're buying for only £3 each. Find out what land's included, ownership, price paid and more.

Knowing what the seller purchased the property for gives you a great advantage when submitting an offer-well I think so..

So there would be a possibility to save thousands by putting an offer in well below what you may have originally offered,without this knowledge....

Obviously this is my opinion,but I do believe this tool will help people save money.

Many thanks for your question

and you can get this information for free in many places??? (the how much they paid anyways) why pay £3?

of course knowing what MR X paid in 2001 for his house I dont think really applies??

So knowing I paid £140k for a house 10 years ago and had it for sale at £320k would make you offer how much? Saving you?

Just curious

without seeing the property it would be difficult to make an offer.but assuming it is all ok then I would put an offer in of £290k

and as for how much it saved me,well how long is a piece of string.

I mearly put this link up for people to use if they want to.

I am sure it would be useful to know certain facts about a property that were not at hand if you were just curious.

At the least it would save you contacting your solicitor to gain certain information

right of way,ownership,conditions ect ect......

By all means have your say,but I'm only trying to help people.

Thankyou

you can get certain information on the net,but even the how much they paid information is not alway available,particually if a property has not sold for years....but you new that !

Again I am only trying to help people.

But consider as an example buyers who 'flip' properties,to have all the up to date information at hand (could) be very useful.

Again many thanks for your reply.

Do you have any more ideas like this one, and the one you posted yesterday? You tried to squirm out by editing your post yesterday, but luckily lynzpower quoted you for all to see.

Any more tips and I am sure that you will get a house for free.:beer:

so sorry I said something you do not agree with you !!!!!!! !!!!!! head

My house has 5 bedrooms, 1 shower room&toilet, and 1 bathroom&toilet upstairs
A very large kitchen diner, 3 sitting rooms,and a cloakroom & toilet downstairs.
There is no way in this world that it would be of any benefit to anyone to know how much it cost.
It would probably break their heart to hear i paid £4500 for it and no i didn't leave out any zeros.

That said i think it is a good idea to find out what a similar property in the same area went for as recently as possible.

Would it save the solicitor doing a similar search? Maybe the OP's £3 report could save buyers something.

I accept that :T The plans bit is probably the most useful, to see boundaries. Although to be fair Id be paying my solicitor for it already. Unless its particularly contentious in some way. But then £3 isnt much to see them for yourself.

I did know the free information is only recent. But as I perhaps slightly mis-said, knowing MR X paid £4500 20yrs ago (above example maybe lol) doesnt really help you. You can hardly offer him 5500 because of it!! And I have found in most cases putting the old price into the nationwide calculator, the price the house is at is less.....

Good example on the flipping. I wonder if nethouseprices and stuff are much behind landregistry.... I dont know actually Good one tho :beer:

So apologies for jumping on ya so quick. I didnt consider all the angles (dont lose your cool tho mate!)
