Could this be a mistake? I am checking a house in that road and I found this. Surely this cannot be right? I found it on right move. Thanks

Hmm. How much do YOU think it is worth? Someone might have an interest in a few properties and might have sold to a relative etc, just to get that entry into the record?After the uprising of the 17th June The Secretary of the Writers Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?0 -
Hmm. Looking at an aerial photo of that road, a lot of the properties seem to have rear extensions and loft conversions, but not that one, so it's possible that it's a "property ladder" style job.
Or it's some sort of Capital Gains Tax / Inheritance Tax fiddle
- but £399,950 looks like someone naively paying the asking price at exactly the wrong time, to me... Hurrah, now I have more thankings than postings, cheers everyone!0 -

The seller seems to have gotten a good deal.
It's just an isolated case. Perhaps the buyer hadn't heard of the credit crunch and believed Nationwide and Halifax's "stagnant" predictions.0 -
Maybe they renovated/extended and resold?0

Buyer 1 paid too much
Buyer 2 paid WAY too much perhaps??0 -
Something similar happened up the road from where I used to live. The first buyer did nothing to the house except gain planning permission for it to be converted into 3 flats. Something similar might have happened here?0
