I'd like to know how much my landlord paid for the property

[Chipper]

Basically my landlord wants to sell the shop i rent of him . I'm pretty sure he bought it from an auction in 2005, but he's now desperate to sell, and i'm tempted to buy.

Is there any website's that will show you purchase prices for commercial properties ? I've tried the home sites with no joy.

Try the Land Registry online. You'll pay £3.00 for the Title extract, which may have the purchase price. Some do but not always.

The Land Registry.

have you tried just putting your address into google, it may get you back to the auction house website.

houseprices.co.uk or put the street name and postcode into google and a few websites come up. Good luck

Bingo.

Just search for house price postcode or similar, there are a few free websites.

Prices have gone up since 2005, though...

He says, "It's what I paid for it".... Thus not reflective of the increase in house prices!??!

So the OP should go sue him. Do no other salespeople bend the truth?

Of course not, salespeople are bastions of truth, honesty and justice

[Fantasy Land Mode Off]

TBH I don't blame the landlord for getting the best price, but he shouldn't lie about what he paid for it. It's a fair one for him to say X is the current market value etc..

Actually, to the OP, get him to put in writing he will sell you the house for the amount he paid for it..............

That's the (PH) spirit!

But they have to keep falling a long way to go back to 2005 prices...
