Historical residentiall property prices (pre1996)?
Discussion
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.....;-)
