There's at least one site which will show you the more recent dates houses were sold, and for how much, though when I say 'more recent' I'm talking mid 1990's onwards.
Put into a search engine 'properties sold in' followed by the address, e.g. Smith Street Oxford. Though if it's a long road then putting in just the postcode will reduce the number of results. (The postcode for 301 Sherrard Road is E12 6UG, though at the time of writing it's not showing the latest sale.)
For anything to do with the Land Registry start with the official government site. (There are other sites listed before the gov.uk site, which promise almost instant results for a price.

Note what the gov.uk site says about deeds.Done a little more digging and ended up atQuote:
Your search may return no results if HM Land Registry doesn’t hold a copy of the deeds.

Go to page 3 of the questions and there's a question about finding out if your ancestor owned a particular house.
Literally, while typing this reply, I've remembered something from way-back.
I was looking at various books in the local history section of the library and though I can't remember the title of the books I think they were called Rate Books. I know they covered different years and were similar to the electoral rolls. https://www.

As I said in an earlier post, I think Newham Library might be your best bet for the electoral rolls for the period you want, and the same would apply for the rate books. Although I found some information, I can't remember how easy/difficult it was to find. e.g. were the streets in alpha order, were the names in alpha order.
