Anyone want to have a go at explaining the House Price History on this property in Hampstead

That’s weird

Goes from freehold to
leasehold and back again, that will be relevant

It's probably confusing the basement flat and the main house above it

Is it because sometimes it's been just the flat, then converted to the whole house or 2 floors, then back again

Yep. Was previously flats, with the sale prices of the individual flats of those showing… now been reverted to a family dwelling (planning permission to do so granted in 2009, apparently).

You can check this on the planning portal. Take a couple of minutes…

Our house was apparently sold for £48k a few years before we bought it but the reality was that the owners had lived there for 40 years.

The house we lived in before was semi-detached: if you look ours up it's classed as terraced, but the semi attached to ours is classed as detached!

So, could be an error, or maybe some legal/finance issue that classes it as a 'sale'?

I think sometimes when there is a divorce or probate sale, and someone is paying half the value to buy someone else out, it can make things look a bit funny.

Agree in this case though, it seems to be the conversion back to a house from flats.

Amazing - thanks I thought possibly but couldnt make that work from the numbers

No worries - I am a bit of an internet sleuth (always like to see all the data on the Omaze houses 🤣) so have learned you can literally google a postcode/address with ‘planning applications’ and it takes you to the local borough site and you can see everything!
