Anyway, the conversations with neighbours are concluded, the trawls of the property price register and estate agent websites are complete. The question of how truthful we are when it comes to valuing our houses for the tax man is an interesting one. Something in the region of 60,000 residential properties were sold in 2021, according to the Residential Property Price Register.
