Nethouseprices & Sold-Price Tools: How to Value Your Home
Nethouseprices is a free UK website that shows actual sold prices for properties, drawn from HM Land Registry data — useful for valuing your home from real sales rather than estimates. To value accurately, average three to five genuine sold comparables of similar size, type and condition near you, using Nethouseprices, the Land Registry, Rightmove and Zoopla sold-price tools together. Sold data beats automated estimates, which can be 10–20% out.

What Nethouseprices is
Nethouseprices is one of several free UK tools that publish sold property prices, sourced from HM Land Registry (which records the actual price paid on completed sales). Like the Land Registry’s own Price Paid data and the Sold Prices tools on Rightmove and Zoopla, it lets you see what homes near you genuinely sold for — the single most reliable basis for valuing your own home. It’s a research tool, not a valuer, but it gives you the real evidence behind a valuation.
Why sold prices beat estimates
There’s a crucial difference between sold prices and automated estimates. Instant online valuations (AVMs) from various sites use averages and algorithms and can be 10–20% out in either direction, because they can’t see your home’s condition, layout or improvements. Sold prices are facts — what real buyers actually paid. Basing your value on genuine sold comparables, rather than an AVM guess, is how you avoid over- or under-pricing.
How to value your home with sold data
| Step | Detail |
|---|---|
| Find comparables | Same street/area, similar size, type, age, condition |
| Use recent sales | Ideally the last 6–12 months |
| Average 3–5 | Don’t rely on a single sale |
| Adjust for differences | Extension, condition, garden, parking |
| Cross-check tools | Nethouseprices, Land Registry, Rightmove, Zoopla |
The tools to use together
No single tool is complete, so use them together: HM Land Registry Price Paid (the official source), Nethouseprices, and the Sold Prices sections of Rightmove and Zoopla (which often add photos and property detail to the sold figure). Rightmove and Zoopla also show the original listing, so you can see how a home was described. Together they give you a rounded picture of genuine local values to anchor your own (see how much is my house worth?).
From value to a real offer
Sold-price tools tell you your market value — the price an ordinary buyer might pay over weeks or months. They don’t tell you what you’d be offered for a fast sale: a cash buyer typically pays 75–85% of market value in exchange for speed and certainty. Knowing your true market value from sold data is exactly what lets you judge whether any offer is fair. We can help you check your value and compare it against genuine offers.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers, no sales talk
What is Nethouseprices?
A free UK website showing actual sold property prices, sourced from HM Land Registry data — useful for valuing your home from real sales rather than online estimates.
How do I value my house from sold prices?
Average three to five genuine sold comparables of similar size, type and condition near you from the last 6–12 months, adjusting for differences, using Nethouseprices, the Land Registry, Rightmove and Zoopla together.
Are sold prices better than online estimates?
Yes — sold prices are facts (what buyers actually paid), while automated estimates (AVMs) use averages and can be 10–20% out because they can’t see your home’s condition or improvements.
Which sold-price tools should I use?
HM Land Registry Price Paid (the official source), Nethouseprices, and the Sold Prices tools on Rightmove and Zoopla — use them together for a rounded picture.
Does my market value equal what I’ll be offered?
Not for a fast sale — a cash buyer typically pays 75–85% of market value for speed and certainty. Knowing your true market value from sold data lets you judge whether an offer is fair.
How recent should comparable sales be?
Ideally the last 6–12 months, so they reflect the current market. Older sales are less reliable as a guide to today’s value.
