One address, several numbers
Sold price portals may differ slightly from open register extracts because of timing, exclusions, or address matching.
Steps
Prefer official register categories for what is included.
Check transaction dates relative to completion reporting lags.
Compare property type descriptors; flats in the same block can vary in size and tenure.
Treat indices as trends, not comparables.
If you plan an offer, pair price history with inspection and local agent view, not charts alone.
