I remember being in my drive after I'd sold, and a couple I'd never seen before stopped to tell me they'd been 'tracking' my house price reductions on a website.  Such a horrible conversation, I felt very upset.  Property snake, or similar.  

Tbf, anyone who is a serious buyer who watches Rightmove daily can tell you which houses have been dropped and by how much and can tell if they have been dropped more than once. 

Anyone who is a serious buyer has the PatMa (or similar) browser extension installed which tells them the history of the sale.

One I'm currently watching.....

To add....

We bought ours just 2 years ago for £260. It was on the market for £330.

After 27 viewings, one potential purchaser offered us £300 with the comment "Well, you've already made £40k in 2 years, so we're offering you a good deal"

It's dumb. We're moving sideways-ish to another part of the country. WIthout getting full asking price, we couldn't afford to buy somewhere similar elsewhere.

When we sold my partner's flat someone told the EA it was massively overpriced and they were only willing to offer the exact same price he'd paid for it 4 years before, as recorded on the Land Registry! We obviously declined and ended up selling it for 17% more than he bought it for as, like you, we needed to make some profit to be able to buy elsewhere. 

Mnoee

There's always the option to move to Northern Ireland, as sold prices aren't public here.
