Net House Prices

Wed, 24 May 2006

House buying/selling is big business in the UK and as a result there is an increasing presence of related online services. This is even more so with the launch of electronic conveyancing services from the government and the publicly accessible Land Registry.I came across the Net House Prices website earlier this year and was staggered at what was on offer. Whereas places such as Right Move give you access to average prices within a postcode or street, Net House Prices actually transcribe all house sales from the Land Registry. What this means is that, since 2000, you can search by postcode (for free!) and see the date and price of any sale. And I have to (personally!) admit that this really brings out the "voyeur" in people; go on, see what your neighbours paid for their houses!!
