Sold Prices Websites

These websites that let you see how much properties are selling for are a good idea. And a bad one. Good in that you can see how much similar properties in the area you're looking at have sold for. It gives you plenty of ammo to moan at the asking prices some vendors have the cheek to set.

But the sites can be depressing. Especially if you look back a decade and see how much homes were going for then. £100K would have got me a very respectable pad. Now? £100K gets you nothing. Maybe a shed.
