I use Home.co.uk, but I've just realised you can only get that data for asking prices: http://www.home.co.uk/guides/house_prices_by_town.htm

I assumed they'd have a breakdown by bedrooms for sold prices too, but it seems not.

Hometrack (sample via link below) is the only one I'm aware of that consistently provides the bedroom info. £20+vat for a one-off though but I'm sure there will be a few subscribers on here that will knock one out for half that or less Shy

(I know brokers using trigold pay £9.95 for full reports else £5 per month for unlimited number of valuation reports).

Tangent question - how do I edit/shorten hyperlink above down to a single word (like it would work on the old platform?)

Rightmove sometimes includes this info on its land Registry info, but not for every property. I presume they get it from the sales details they listed when it was for sale, where the agent is a Rightmove subscriber. Private sales presumably won't show this info.

Sorry if I am missing something ...

... but why, if you are considering purchasing an asset worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, would you skimp on paying £20.00 for a valuation report?

Or £4.00 from the Land Registry?

There are "acquisition costs" associated with any property purchase and I would imagine that this is money well spent!

Due diligence is a process and there might be costs associated with it, such as Land Registry fees, petrol to visit the property, other search fees etc. Have I missed any?

It might be helpful to itemise them as I would imagine that they are tax deductible as well. Smile

If I`m in the mood I could skim look at maybe 50 properties a day then if they pass the `maybe I would invest in it` test I delve down a bit deeper into maybe 10 of them. £20 in itself is nothing per property I agree but £200 a day could get a bit expensive over time. But yes if you are looking at making say 20K on a deal then 20 quid is a drop in the ocean.

However I would maybe prefer to spend the 20 quid on my refurb guys to join me for 30 mins at the viewing. I trust their judgement and mine far more than a virtual valuation. The last Hometrack report I paid for was on a house up for sale for 370k and all it gave me was a 50K bandwith of what it may be worth. This I found next to useless and it also gave comparables in the area which were not really relevant. I concede this was years ago so it may have improved its service since then

The original poster, Andy, asked for overall statistics and not for specific sold prices for a certain property. I guess we got a bit off track here.

You highlight the bit you want to turn into a link - like this (to my own site) - click on the little globe/chain icon and paste your URL into the dialogue box that comes up.

does such sites and available data exist?

Andy,

If you really just want the aggregate information rather than each property's details, can you use the indexes? I am thinking mostly about the FT index as it is based only on completed sales.
