Property due diligence
My favourite site for finding out past sale dates and prices. If you search by postcode, remember to click the "show whole road" link. It's free by the way!
This is an awesome resource which records times to let and average rents per type of property and area. Unfortunately, at the time of writing it only covers Scotland and Northern Ireland.
