Hiding the sold/complete price from searches?

solidpro

Hi

I've seen some people have managed to hide the completed sale price on houses near me. Does anyone know what this is called, or how it's done? Many show up and some don't show up ever. The last place I bought, showed up twice on all searches, do I'm guessing it's a public database which is down to individuals to update...?

Thanks

UK Land Registry is public record (for a small fee?)

Anyone can see anything for free (for now, before Gidiot privatises it)

Note it takes around 3 months after completion for the sale to turn up in the public record.

I think if you purchase via a company that also does not show.

It only goes back something like 25 years.

I don't see why that would make a difference.

Auction sales, reposession sales, right to buy sales, all sales below market value are not shown at land registry.
I believe the solicitor ticks a box on the land registry forms. Sometimes they make a mistake.
