How to find out previous house price listing on RM

[ESGdance]

Just looking at a studio and did a Google search and it seems it was in for 20k cheaper - but can’t find the agent - on “Mapio”? Can you look through historic RM listings?

Usually the images used for the last sale are here. Sometimes the last two sales. Sometimes there are no images.

Zoopla shows you previous listings for properties under the sold prices section

Zoopla shows you previous listings for properties under the sold prices section

Even if it hasn’t sold?

I don’t think you can see it, if it hasn’t sold. Estate agents can through their RM portal.

Go to propertylog.net in Chrome, download the extension and then go to Rightmove in Chrome - you’ll then see the price history for the listings.

On Zoopla you can see the listing history on the actual advert, it's an option right at the bottom. This is a house not too far from where I live and it shows that the original list price was £190k, then dropped to £185k, and is now currently on for £180k.

That’s really helpful - I will look into that. The numbers in my case are the opposite direction - seems first listed in Nov 2020 @ 300 - dropped to 290 in April 2021 and now re listed at 310 in Nov 2021.

This is a studio in west London - nothing of this type is selling - and certainly hasn’t gone up nearly 10% in Covid.

Also much of London flats/studios have been stagnant since 2016.

You can only see it on Rightmove (and I guess other sites) if a sale has completed and the new details updated with Land Registry. So in the kind of scenario where a property goes on the market, doesn’t sell, price drops, gets withdrawn from the market, then put back on - you can’t get this from Rightmove.

You can get this information from Zoopla, as they keep their archive accessible. You should be able to view it as long as the seller hasn't requested for it to be pulled. You do need the exact address to be able to use the archive listing feature though.

Go to the House Prices tab on Zoopla, and type the postcode in, which will bring up all properties in that postcode. You can sort them by address, last sold or estimated value.

If you click on the address of the property you are interested in, the last time it was listed for sale will come up from the Zoopla archive. It's such a handy function.

Interesting…..previous listing not on Zoopla - but found it when I googled the address.

As previous poster said, Property Log is how you can see the bizarre pricing shenanigans of the estate agents - up/down/up/down.
