I may be going over old ground here as I have been away from the group for a while, but.... 'er ladyship just stumbled upon this fine tool.

Apart from the data is old and the analysis is seriously flawed! Apart from that it's just fine.

But if as we are, you are looking at a property in particular and see the current owners purchased is 2 years ago for 25% off the current asking price, it gives you an idea as to how far you can try and push the price down to still be appealing to the current vendors.
The Yahoo one is FREE, and doesn't have all that signing up SPAM list crap you are compelled to fill in before you can even look at any results.
All you do on the Yahoo site is enter a "human-only" code into the box and bingo. Checked my previous house sale and the price was spot on.
Each to their own though I guess.

How do you reckon that? The market value of the house that they want to=20 move to will have risen by a similar amount in the same period, or they=20 may have spent a lot on improvements to the house they're selling.
The details of improvements and modernisations will be readily available from current vendors. A house is only worth what somone is willing to pay for it. If no-one pays the asking price and the vendors are desperate to sell so as not to lose their new interest, I would say knowing what they bought it for and what they had done and the purchase price was pretty good grounds for making s realistic and acceptable offer.
The data they use is from the Land Registry and so it should be spot on. However the LR issue a monthly update (the last contained prices to the end of December 2005) and the data on this site only goes to August 2005. I don't know if they have stopped updating it aaltogether or it just hasn't been updated recently but if there are significant market moves then this length of time between updates is significant.
Really? They require you to register. So all those details will be sold on to others. Some free...
Just how desperate would they have to be? By the time they sold their=20 old house to you they probably couldn't afford the new one anyway.
It's free in that it doesnt cost anyhting ..but you knew I meant that anyway .As for the other ....lighten up ...so what if they want you to register .
Stuart
Even better. Thanks Chris.
If yoy stay in England or Wales of course .
Stuart
Is there anywhere else?
:¬))
I'd really rather not give my details to a *supposed* 'free' site when there are others that do the same thing without.
If you want to that's up to you.
has much smaller bandwidth requirement for "in field" refrence on the mobile.
I prefer houseprices.co.uk too - data seems more complete
Have you seen ononemap.com ? Its not what they sold for but ones for sale...
I can confidently state I have received no spam on the address used to sign up to them some time ago.
