House Sales

Are you selling your property at the right price?
Are you paying too much for your new home?
What are house prices like in your street?

Looking at house sales in the area where you plan to buy or sell property is a great way to establish a benchmark for the prices of homes locally. The history of house sales over time can also be an important indicator, telling you whether an area is 'up-and-coming', or whether prices are stable or declining.

MyPropertySpy holds records of UK house sales, as provided to us by the Land Registry, with the facility to search for properties in your postcode, district or town of interest. These details are for actual house sales, which have been completed, as opposed to properties on the market at present.

Naturally, it's advisable to look in the windows of estate agents, and research property prices for current house sales as well. However, bear in mind that these properties may not actually achieve the advertised price. The real value of property can only be determined by the market – i.e. how much somebody is prepared to pay for the house.

When preparing your own property for sale, you should establish the top price which similar local properties have been sold for. Look up the details of house sales using MyPropertySpy, and try to visit the addresses you find. Compare the standard of décor and features of these properties with your own.

If you can ensure that your house meets the standards of the properties sold for the top prices in the area, you will be well placed to make the maximum profit on your home.
