Actual sold prices provide market context. Here's how!

Land Registry data shows what properties on your street actually sold for - real transaction prices from completed sales rather than asking prices 📊. This public data is available to anyone and forms the basis of market value assessments. However, no two properties are identical. Condition, improvements, presentation, and timing all influence final prices. That similar house down the road might have sold for different reasons - outdated throughout, or recently renovated, or unusual circumstances. Sold price data gives you the baseline for your area. Understanding your specific property's position requires considering its individual characteristics.

Section 8 possession grounds explained for landlords

With Section 21 abolished from May 1st, landlords now use Section 8 grounds to end tenancies. Common grounds include: selling the property (Ground 1A - four months' notice, cannot use within first 12 months), landlord or family moving in (Ground 1 - four months' notice), serious rent arrears of three months or more (Ground 8 - four weeks' notice), or anti-social behaviour (Ground 7A/14). Each ground requires specific evidence and different notice periods. The 12-month protected period prevents use of certain grounds during tenancies' first year. Keeping detailed records of any tenancy breaches proves essential.
