    If you google the post code and the word "zoopla" then Zoopla will probably have an entry of the address in question and if it was listed with them they will have a 'property history' section which will show any photo's they had at the time.

    Yeah Zoopla it using "House prices and values" and click on the house number and hopefully there will be a "property history" link somewhere.

    Yeah kinda the closest I got... no images though. Did try to think outside the box and use http://archive.org/web/ but there's too many pages for that site.

    Where did you get the number that you had from? Could it be one partner buying another partner out?

    Current price - previous sale price.

    I know there's several factors to the current vendors price but just wanted to know if it was possible.

    Seems the closest you can get is on Zoopla, with their archive (it shows a property on a crinkled piece of paper)... not all properties are on there though. I think at the request of the estate agent or vendor, previous details can be removed.

    I tried taking the ID numbers of the properties (shown in the url) and putting them into an archived url in both Rightmove and Zoopla but that doesn't work either.

    Short answer is 'sometimes'. If you saved it on right move when it was previously on the market then you would still be able to see them. Similarly if the vendors estate agent doesn't archive them correctly they'll still show on rightmove. If the estate agent removes them completely and you didn't save the listing then no, you can't.

    You say "new build" - would there have been an individual listing for the house if they bought from the developers? Usually there's just a generic brochure with showhome pictures.

    If there are similar houses on the same development can't you figure it out from those?

    try searching only rightmove with google

    type..
    site:www.rightmove.co.uk 2 bed flat G31 1RY in to google

    but change 2 bed flat G31 1RY to whatever and wherever it is! try apartment instead of flat etc, depends what it was listed as

    that seems to throw up the let agreed/agent removed/sold ones for some reason
