    I'm looking at a few properties on the register which have sold in the past year, but I can't find a consistent way of seeing the images which were available when the properties were sold - just trying to figure out why the condition etc and why the prices tend to vary so much.

    Estate Agents are definitely much more savvy nowadays, no longer do they leave pdf brochures online, properties are removed the day they hit the register etc, any suggestions?

    Waybackmachine is worth a try if you know the URL of the listing on daft or myhome etc.
    It should show you the dates that have copies of the webpage. Just paste in your URL of the property.

    Yeah thats a tricky one - there are online tools like the above but you'd need the URL and that would be hard to garner for retrospective look back on the PPR.

    As a point of note, we're just gone sale agreed on a property, but I did notice the EA took down the listing on their own website and Myhome.ie once she had 2 bidders in place, so it won't even show up online as sale agreed, the listing is just gone.

    I assumed this sort of thing would be blocked, but apparently not. Ive had email alerts set up for ages, tried an old alert link, and it worked! The old slide show even worked with all the original images.


    Another property I'm curious about, I googled variations of addresses and discovered old 'brochure' pages, photos and regional newspaper articles still up on facebook and other sites when it was for sale in 2014, 2016 and again in 2018...

    I have used this site numerous times http://ir.speakingsame.com/ it is really handy to find out how many times the property has been listed, by what agent and different prices etc.

    It can be a bit tricky to navigate around and can take multiple searches but I typically find all the information I need from it.

    Other than that wayback machine as mentioned above, but this isnt always successful.
