Historical residentiall property prices (pre1996)?

[Mogul]

How can I research historical residential property selling prices in Scotland by street and/or by post code, from let's say 1989 onwards?

I have been on the ros.gov.uk site but found nothing before 1996 when I believe that register (or the area I was interest in) was created...

The in-laws postcode G12 shows1983 prices

May be your area has little movement

Someone at ROS tells me that the online register for the AB postcode I’m interested in was only online from ‘96.

Any other ideas?

Is it a specific property you are interested in or a general trend in an area?
ROS have all the transaction history, probably still on the Sasines register for that time. So not easily accessible via Scotlis but they will have the info.

I am trying to establish what properties were selling for in a particular AB31 area in or around April 1991 - the date used to determine the Council tax bands...

These properties were all built around 50+ years ago, pre-dating the current 7-character postcode format (e.g. AANN NAA) but there are no searchable records under the old 6-character form AAN NAA at the Scotlis link ===> https://scotlis.ros.gov.uk

... although you can drop the last character (as in AANN NA) and search a wider area.

However, for some postcodes, I have found a handful of entries dating back to the 1960s and 1970s etc, but these appear to be the exception, rather than the rule.

What's bugging me is that Council Tax Band G is Scotland is so wide and the first 6 bands cover £0-£106,000 but Band G covers the next £106,000 (i.e. from £106,000-£212,000) based on 1991 values.

I've found some data elsewhere that only approx 1% of properties in Scotland are placed in Band H and 7-9% of properties are in Band G.

I have a tangential knowledge of what you are trying to achieve and, trust me, even in the very unlikley event that the Assessor was prepared to shift your property down a band the amount of time money and effort you'd need to invest to achieve that result would far outweigh any annual saving.

Just accept it and move on. Typical Aberdonians.....;-)
