Can anyone think of why a property would have this many sold listings on zoopla? I noticed it as it came up for sale recently, went to ‘under offer’, and then was taken off the market without ever going to ‘SSTC’ (it was listed with an agent that seems to update to this when sales progress).

I think something to do with the street and how it is filtered on Rightmove. I once owned a house and the sale didn’t show on Rightmove but the date and price was listed on a property several doors down from me.

Its also been selling for very low amounts. Last sale was the highest at £400k (half what they want now) average has been in the £200k range.

I don't know what it is but CLEARLY something is seriously wrong with it... likely something not fixable or that would be extortionate (far beyond reason) to fix.

That doesn't look right at all. Sold twice in May 2015 for different prices, April 2002 at £525k and then May 2002 at £156k? I'd say there's a cock up on the history. Have you been able to check it elsewhere?

It says to me it has been sold blind at auction survey has revealed something catastrophic and its gone straight back to auction.

I was just looking at my dads old house that came up for auction... its unmorgagable, unrentable, non standard construction and has no gas supply to the village so not central heating etc... and all the houses in the village regularly do this (all sold at auction then bounced on again right away usually... people are sucked in by the £1000 guide price. Its often companys, they'll buy a whole street panic and relist it back at the same auction when the realises they can't rent and likely wont sell).

You’re misinterpreting incorrect data.

No I'm giving a real life example of why records can legitimately look like that.

Jumping to 'it must be a mistake' to sell twice in 1 month isn't automatically true.

I used to live near there.
Went to parties there.
It's a fab place, and the Undercroft is so great.

But omg it's a money pit.

There are at least 10 other properties with the same postcode.

Because they are either barn conversions or farm cottages to do with the historical estate (which was very large)

Feministwoman · 06/04/2024 23:10

The estate land was sold off in the late 80s and the Manor House doesn't have a huge amount of land left around it. A few acres? Not what you'd expect for such a big house

It's G2 Listed (which makes it quite expensive /difficult to do any stuff to a house) and it needs quite a lot of repair. And it's in a Conservation area, along with Aylton Church and Court Farm.
So lots of planning restrictions.

It's beautiful, but omg it's a money pit.

Last time I recall it being sold, it was 1.6 million.

Feministwoman · 06/04/2024 23:14

But no, it hasn't been repeatedly sold. That is an error. Last time afair was 2016

Feministwoman · 06/04/2024 23:22

Actually I don't know it needs lots of repair. So, sorry, that's wrong of me.
But from what I know about living in an older property, I suspect it might want some upkeep?
