House prices
How have house prices moved where you live?
The UK House Price Index is the official measure: every registered sale, adjusted for the mix of homes sold, published monthly for every council area. This page reads ten years of it for one postcode's council area and sets it against the region, the nation and the UK: the average price now, the change over one, five and ten years, what detached houses and flats and first-time buyers pay, and how many homes change hands each month.
- Average price & annual change
- Ten-year trend vs region & nation
- By property type & buyer
- Sales by month
How this works
The Office for National Statistics calculates the UK House Price Index from HM Land Registry, Registers of Scotland, Land and Property Services and Valuation Office Agency records of every sale, weighting them so that a month of expensive detached sales does not read as a price rise. HM Land Registry publishes the result as linked data, and this page reads the monthly series for the postcode’s council area (found by its ONS code, or its name where the index lacks the code), its English region, its nation and the UK, back to 2015. Sales counts appear two months behind prices because registration follows completion, and the latest two months of prices are revised as late registrations arrive. Northern Ireland’s districts are published quarterly. The average is a mix-adjusted figure for a typical home, so a street of new flats can move the local number without any house changing value.
