Check sold house prices by postcode
Enter a postcode to see every recorded sale since 1995 from HM Land Registry — actual prices paid, not asking prices.
You can look up what houses actually sold for, by postcode and for free, using HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which records nearly every residential sale in England and Wales since 1995 including the price, date, address and property type. Sold prices are the ground truth behind asking prices — if a property is priced well above recent comparable sales in its postcode, that gap is what mortgage valuers look at when they down-value.
Frequently asked questions
Why do sold prices matter more than asking prices?
Asking prices are marketing; sold prices are evidence. Mortgage lenders value properties against comparable sold prices — a property priced far above its postcode's recent sales risks a down-valuation, which is one of the most common causes of renegotiation and fall-throughs.
How quickly do new sales appear?
The Land Registry typically registers sales within weeks of completion, though some take longer. Very recent purchases may not show yet.
Are all sales included?
Nearly all residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. Some transactions are excluded — right-to-buy discounts, transfers between family members, and portfolio sales, among others.
