House sale two years ago not on Land Registry?

pinkteapot

Viewed a house today, owners said they'd only been there two years.

No sale price data at all on Zoopla etc.

Are there any reasons why a house sale price and date wouldn't show up?

Mine isn't on there as it was a private sale through family.

Zoopla is an indirect source so may have inaccuracies- have you checked the LR itself?

There are certain sales where the LR does not make public the saleprice.

Our house purchase wasn't on the land registry either. To be honest, I'm glad as it stops people snooping.

I checked with the land registry though just to make sure that all the documentation was there and that I was the registered owner.
