Property Price? |
A few months ago I made an offer on a property through an estate agency but did not get it. However I now have reason to suspect that my offer was indeed higher than the offer accepted by the agency..... so I think there might have been a bit of scull-duggery going on between the agent and the buyer & like may I say it , a discreet backhander maybe?! Is there any way I can find out how much the property sold for? Even if your offer was higher, the seller had no requirement to sell it to you. For example -- I get two offers for my property. The value is $300,000. Offer 1 is for $290,000 with no closing costs, no inspection, and 3 weeks until closing. The buyer is putting down 25% and paid $3,000 in earnest money. The second offer is for $295,000, but the buyer wants $6,000 towards closing, paid $1,000 in earnest money, is putting down nothing, and wants to close in six weeks. Oh, the buyer also haven't been preapproved through underwriting, just has a pre-qualification letter. Who am I going with? If it sold, they have to have filed the sale with the county assessors office. You can generally either look online or call the assessor directly to get the information. It's all public record. Yes go to myhouseprice.com its free and they will search for you. If you go to this link, you should be able to find out what the property in question sold for! http://uk.houseprices.yahoo.net/... If you wait a few weeks to wait for the registration documents to be lodged with the Land Registry - go to the Land Registry www.landregistry.gov.uk Get a copy of the register for a couple of quid and you can see how much it was purchased for and who bought it. Good luck |
