How to measure the gap between asking and sold prices?

MarcusAurelius

Hi all,

I want to find out the advertised asking price and the actual price paid for a property.

On the one hand, Land Registry publishes sold prices 3-6 months following completion, and on the other hand rightmove keeps the photos from the original ad for some time, often until after the Land registry is updated.

The issue I'm having is that rightmove only keep the photos and lose the asking price!

How can I find out the asking price once the property is registered with Land Registry?

Thanks!

Google the property address along with 'for sale', 'asking price', 'offers' or combinations and variations thereof. This may bring up a schedule or entry on agent's website with the info you want.

Rightmove isn't the only place to look. Mind you, you're really standing at the stable door long after the horse has bolted, and what you really should be doing is logging all the asking prices in your area of interest, and matching them to the sale price later on.

For sale ads do not feature an exact address, hence no matches. Any other ideas?

Which prompts me to ask, why?

What do you think this information does for you?

I have a vision of someone ringing an estate agent and making an offer "as the asking price to agreed price ratio for the area is 0.82" and the estate agent responding "that's fine, but we just put it to our vendor and they reply, based on their circumstances."
