CURRENT RESEARCH CONCLUSION
Resolve availability before building an offer pack. The old agent URL returned 404 during the live check. Same-road completed sales give a starting point for comparison, but the historical asking price cannot be treated as a current buying opportunity.
Historical agent URL inspected in a browser: page not found. Recorded-sale pages read separately.
