Are sold prices always correct on Rightmove?

How strange! Well I guess in this case I just won’t know what they paid for sure...guess it doesn’t really matter but I find the sold prices (especially when they’re so recent) a helpful guide. Would it be any different on the title document if I paid to get it from land registry?

I've seen sold prices registered against the house next door and also seen our mortgage amount registered as the sale amount on RM.

And we're not to be found on Rightmove, Zoopla or anywhere else like that, so you'll have to cough up £3 at the Land Registry to see what we paid!

Slightly off on a tangent but any database containing tens of millions of records of which millions receive updates every year and then to have that data scraped by a 3rd party, possibly merged with other data such as PAF etc and then published by a 3rd party... it's going to contain errors.

That could account for why a flat we owned and sold for £91K showed a sold price a couple of years later of £50K when others in the block were then selling for over £100K

We are not on Zoopla but we are on Rightmove and of course the land registry.

You can search the land registry records for sold prices for free.

Similarly, when i remortgaged my home Zoopla, who generally have estimated values pulled out of thin air, updated my home's value with the exact figure the surveyor had chosen.

I cannot remember the exact details any more but years ago I bought out my ex-girlfriend by paying her something like £60,000. At the time the house was worth £200,000+ but the Land Registry recorded the transaction as a sale of the house for £60,000.

my previous house sale from over 3 years ago still isn't on land registry ...

Have you never had any paperwork to say that the sale was recorded with the Land Registry?
