A nosy neighbour wants - amongst other things - to know how much you bought your house for, how much you sold it for and how much profit you made.

A good source for this information is www.houseprices.co.uk or www.mouseprice.com however neither of these websites show all properties. Why is that?

It seems that if a property is sold to a developer, then the price doesn't appear and in some other cases the price is not listed.

I thought all property sales had to be listed with The Land Registry - is this not so?

I think the earliest that records are available for public release is 1997.
I find Zoopla better than the two sites mentioned, as there is an option not only to specify the type of property (semi, detached, flat etc.) but also to specify a start date for the search back to that date mentioned.

Three houses in our lane exchanged hands last year. One shows in Zoopla, two don't. Two went via estate agents, so far as I know, one via a private approach following a failed auction. As you say Duncan, I thought they all showed.

Oops, just gave away that I was being nosy! :-)

Firefox? I'm using IE9. There are limits to how much effort I'm willing to put in to satisfy my nosiness. :-)

Things have moved on - we used to use a glass on the party wall trick when I were a nipper!

I've had a similar experience, some transactions appear to show on the property sites, others don't.

No idea why.

I think its just that they take a while to be updated - takes at least 6 months I think

The price paid for properties sold since 1st April 2000 is in the title register, which is viewable for a fee of £4.

Mouseprice.com is absolutely "Way-out" going by our street! - how can they value individual identically built homes in a tiny terrace so differently and get them all so wrong, and be allowed to post such rubbish on`t net??
