Where to find property sold in my areas?

all the major property listing websites onthemarket, zoopla, rightmove have sections listing sold properties by date

That info is obtained by them from the Land Registry as that is the only definitive record of all sales, but what they populate on their own sites may not be timely or, in certain circumstances, may give a misleading picture (eg buying out the share of a co-owner)

it is perfectly possible to get the info direct from Land Registry yourself using their sold prices app but searching at a "higher level" such as the road name or even town name only
Search the price paid dataset - HM Land Registry Open Data

the advantage of the LR data compared to the price websites is you can download it for further analysis (but you don't get the pretty pictures)

Thank you for your reply.

I'll check the link.

Good evening all and happy New Year!

I would like to find out, without asking an estate agent, the properties that have sold in my area. I don't seem to find such a list on The Land Registry. There's a website called OnTheMarket that lists a few properties, the estate agents in charge and the price. 

Are they any other sources (other than Zoopla or RightMove)?

No problem.

I am selecting agents to sell and would also like to find out how many properties they have sold in my area  as I have already asked them and vague response. I can find the sold prices but cannot see which agent has sold them and sometimes the details of the size of the property are not listed.

I used them to find mine.  Just sold for a good price.

I always go to Zoopla first, because as well as seeing the house prices there are quite a few properties where you can see the previous listings. This can be useful, e.g. when researching how much faith should be put in 'offers above'.

I've just had a look at some Rightmove sold prices, and it may just be the random sample I looked at. But, I only found the most recent listings for sold houses. And, they didn't go back a long way that I can see. 

Is that a fair characterisation of the differences between the two platforms? Or is it just because I've been unlucky on Rightmove?

Use Rightmove to see the properties of similar value or size to your own in your area. That will show you which agents specialise in your sort of property.

I'm using both at the moment, Zoopla and Rightmove.
