Hi, I am wondering if there is a website that would be able to give me a rough estimate as to what property prices were in the early 1980's I have looked at netprices but the data does not go that far back.

The short answer is No
The answer that sort of gives you a bit of an idea is http://www.nationwide.co.uk/hpi/
You can key in values and a start and end year and it will calculate based on averages in broad geographic areas over time
The only long and accurate answer would be to conduct research of either interviewing locals/neighbours and/or going to the local paper to see if their archives from those years included the property pages and spend an afternoon (if they allow it) going through the newspapers for that period.
The netprices (and similar website) data won't go back prior to April 2000 because before that date it was all hidden from us, a big secret. The data's only been published since April 20000
