How do I find out what houses on my street sold for?

Price paid data is HM Land Registry's public record of the price paid for each residential property sold for value in England and Wales and lodged for registration. Each record shows the address, the sale date, the price, the property type, whether it was a new build and whether it was freehold or leasehold.

Where can I see what houses sold for on my street?

How do I use sold prices to understand my own home's value?

1. 1. Search your postcode and the ones around it

   Start with your own postcode, then widen to neighbouring postcodes, because a single street may have only one or two sales a year.

2. 2. Keep only homes like yours

   Filter to the same property type and tenure, and treat new-build sales separately because they often carry a premium.

3. 3. Favour recent sales

   Give most weight to sales from the last 12 months, since prices have moved this year and an older sale needs adjusting before it tells you anything.

4. 4. Adjust older sales for the market

   Use an area price trend, such as the UK House Price Index for your council area, to see how prices have moved since each sale.

5. 5. Compare price per square metre

   Find each home's floor area on the government's energy certificate register and divide the price by it, so a bigger house does not skew your view.

6. 6. Note what the record cannot show

   Price paid data says nothing about condition, extensions, gardens, parking or why the home sold, so allow for what you know about each one.

7. 7. Ask about sales not yet registered

   Recent sales can take up to two months or more to appear, so local agents will know about agreed and completed sales the records do not show yet.

8. 8. Turn it into a range, then test it

   Write down a low and high figure from the evidence, then compare it with local agents' valuations of your home.

How up to date are sold prices?

What sales are missing from price paid data?

• Sales not for full market value, such as gifts, transfers on divorce and discounted Right to Buy sales.
• Compulsory purchases, court-ordered sales and some transfers by trustees.
• Sales where the price was stated as including VAT.
• Sales still waiting to be registered, which is why the latest two months look thin.

A sold price is history. Your home's value is what a buyer will pay this autumn, and the gap between the two is where most pricing mistakes are made.

Why might my neighbour's sale price not match my home's value?

Two homes on the same street can differ in size, layout, condition, garden and parking, and they sold at different points in the market. With Nationwide reporting a 0.2% monthly fall in September 2026 and mortgage rates near 6%, a sale agreed in the spring may not be repeatable today.

What should I do once I have checked sold prices?

Local agents add what the records cannot: condition, demand this month and the buyers they have waiting. ValuQ gives UK homeowners free, side-by-side property valuations from competing local estate agents. Agents see the property brief, not your name or number, and never get your details until you choose.
