The UK HPI is based on completed housing transactions. Typically, a house purchase can take 6 to 8 weeks to reach completion. As with other indicators in the housing market, which typically fluctuate from month to month, it is important not to put too much weight on one month鈥檚 set of house price data.

Background

1. We publish the UK House Price Index (HPI) on the second or third Wednesday of each month with Northern Ireland figures updated quarterly. We will publish the November 2024 UK HPI at 9:30am on Wednesday 15 January 2025. See聽calendar of release dates.
2. We have made some changes to improve the accuracy of the UK HPI. We are not publishing average price and percentage change for new builds and existing resold property as done previously because there are not currently enough new build transactions to provide a reliable result. This means that in this month鈥檚 UK HPI reports, new builds and existing resold property are reported in line with the sales volumes currently available.
3. The UK HPI revision period has been extended to 13 months, following a review of the revision policy (see聽calculating the UK HPI聽section 4.4). This ensures the data used is more comprehensive.
4. Sales volume data is available by property status (new build and existing property) and funding status (cash and mortgage) in our聽downloadable data tables. Transactions that require us to create a new register, such as new builds, are more complex and require more time to process. Read聽revisions to the UK HPI data.
5. Revision tables are available for England and Wales within the downloadable data in CSV format. See聽about the UK HPI聽for more information.
6. HM Land Registry, Registers of Scotland, Land & Property 天美影院/Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency and the Valuation Office Agency supply data for the UK HPI.
7. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) and聽Land & Property 天美影院/Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency calculate the UK HPI. It applies a hedonic regression model that uses the various sources of data on property price,听including HM聽Land Registry鈥檚 Price Paid Dataset, and attributes to produce estimates of the change in house prices each month. Find out more about the methodology used聽from the聽听补苍诲听.
8. We take the聽UK Property Transaction statistics聽 from the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) monthly estimates of the number of residential and non-residential property transactions in the UK and its constituent countries. The number of property transactions in the UK is highly seasonal, with more activity in the summer months and less in the winter. This regular annual pattern can sometimes mask the underlying movements and trends in the data series. HMRC presents the UK aggregate transaction figures on a seasonally adjusted basis. We make adjustments for both the time of year and the construction of the calendar, including corrections for the position of Easter and the number of trading days in a聽particular month.
9. UK HPI seasonally adjusted series are calculated at regional and national levels only. See聽data tables.
10. The first estimate for new build average price (April 2016 report) was based on a small sample which can cause volatility. A three-month moving average has been applied to the latest estimate to remove some of this volatility.
11. The UK HPI reflects the final transaction price for sales of residential property. Using the geometric mean, it covers purchases at market value for owner-occupation and buy-to-let, excluding those purchases not at market value (such as re-mortgages), where the 鈥榩rice鈥� represents a valuation.
12. HM Land Registry provides information on residential property transactions for England and Wales, collected as part of the official registration process for properties that are sold for full market value.
13. The HM Land Registry dataset contains the sale price of the property, the date when the sale was completed, full address details, the type of property (detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat), if it is a newly built property or an established residential building and a variable to indicate if the property has been purchased as a financed transaction (using a mortgage) or as a non-financed transaction (cash purchase).
14. Repossession sales data is based on the number of transactions lodged with HM Land Registry by lenders exercising their power of sale.
15. For England, we show repossession sales volume recorded by government office region. For Wales, we provide repossession sales volume for the number of repossession sales.
16. Repossession sales data is available from April 2016 in CSV format. Find out more information about聽repossession sales.
17. We publish CSV files of the raw and cleansed aggregated data every month for England, Scotland and Wales. We publish Northern Ireland data on a quarterly basis. They are available for free use and re-use under the Open Government Licence.
18. HM Land Registry is a government department created in 1862. Its vision is: 鈥淎 world-leading property market as part of a thriving economy and a sustainable future.鈥�
19. HM Land Registry鈥檚 purpose is: 鈥淲e protect your land ownership and provide services and data that underpin an efficient and informed property market.鈥�
20. HM Land Registry safeguards land and property ownership valued at 拢8 trillion, enabling over 拢1 trillion worth of personal and commercial lending to聽be secured聽against property across England and Wales. The Land Register contains more than聽26.5聽million titles showing evidence of ownership for more than 89% of the land mass of England and Wales.
