No sales/rental history available for number 25 (the one currently being
used as a NR portaloo) since 1995. Suggests it was a compulsory purchase
from a long term owner occupier.

Or there has been no transfer of ownership involving payment since
prices became a matter of public record.

The Land Registry data available to the public via sites like Zoopla
only includes sales made on the open market. So a transfer by compulsory
purchase (or even a voluntary sale after being contacted by Network
Rail, or whoever) would not show up.

Unless NR-or-whoever has owned the house since 1995, and given they've
got possession, I'd go for the off-books purchase.

Same arguments for number 27.
