I'm looking to buy my first house
. I've gone on a massive trawl of right move in the area I'm interested in and come up with a list of properties to view. Just been going through Mouseprice/Zoopla looking at all the historical info...
One house has got a very odd set of historical data. Namely
Property history

initial price £121,995 24 Aug 07
Sold for £61,344 16 Feb 06
Sold for £119,995 22 Oct 04
That's one heck of a price drop in 2006. I'm wondering why..Then I note it was sold STC back in Feb then back on the market again a month or so ago. I'm wondering if the potential new buyer had a survey done and found out it needed expensive work doing and pulled out. I'm thinking I shouldn't be touching this house with someone else's 40ft barge pole. Just wondering if I'm reading this right...
