PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

You will need to create a user name and give an email address, but you can make this up (it doesn't send confirmation email or anything).
Then click to go to the viewing gallery.
New builds appear to be taking one hell of a beating. For instance, Lot 82 has just sold for £152k, compared to the £295k on the Land Reg books for the original purchase in 2004.
I have long thought property values to be overstated, but not to this extent.

When I first logged on I was comparing the achieved price to the guide price, but the guide price is irrelevant; it is artificially low, in order to get people interested.
It was when I started to look at the previos sold prices for one or two properties, that I realised the substantial size of the price reductions.
It does appear to be mainly new-builds taking the hit, but the hits are astronomical in some instances.0 -
Not in a position to register and look but interested in reports back like you ahve done above if you are able.0
