Mix-adjusted house prices, by new/pre-owned dwellings, type of buyer (first time buyer) and region, from February 2002 for London and UK, and average mix-adjusted prices by UK region, and long term Annual House Price Index data since 1969 for London. The ONS House Price Index is mix-adjusted to allow for differences between houses sold (for example type, number of rooms, location) in different months within a year. House prices are modelled using a combination of characteristics to produce a model containing around 100,000 cells (one such cell could be first-time buyer, old dwelling, one bedroom flat purchased in London). Each month estimated prices for all cells are produced by the model and then combined with their appropriate weight to produce mix-adjusted average prices. The index values are based on growth rates in the mix-adjusted average house prices and are annually chain linked. The weights used for mix-adjustment change at the start of each calendar year (i.e. in January). The mix-adjusted prices are therefore not comparable between calendar years, although they are comparable within each calendar year. If you wish to calculate change between years, you should use the mix-adjusted house price index, available in Table 33. The data published in these tables are based on a sub-sample of RMS data. These results will therefore differ from results produced using full sample data. For further information please contact the ONS using the contact details below.

Art Presence & London Property Prices

Quantifying Visual Environment at Scale

By [source]

About this dataset

Explore a new and different way to measure the relationship between art presence and property prices in Inner London neighbourhoods. By quantifying the visual environment at scale with geotagged Flickr photos containing the word “art,” this dataset can help us garner an understanding of how aesthetic values translate into its economic value. Using data from the Land Registry of England and Wales, this dataset allows users to spot correlations between property values and art presence through visual analysis of postcode districts plotted against rank change in prices and proportion of “art” photos. Investigate whether aesthetics, particularly within urban neighbourhoods, have a bearing on local house pricing markets – adding a valuable insight into London’s ever-changing social landscape

How to use the dataset

This dataset provides a useful tool for determining the correlation between the visual environment in a given neighbourhood and its associated property values. This dataset can be used to gain insights into how art presence in an area affects housing prices.

To work with this dataset, you will first need to download it as a csv file or as an XML file. Once you have downloaded your desired version of the data, open it in your favorite spreadsheet program or text editor for further manipulation and analysis.

The two key columns you will want to focus on are Rank Mean Change and Proportion Art Photos. The Rank Mean Change column indicates how each neighbourhood ranked based on its mean property price change from Jan 1995 to Mar 2017, while Proportion Art Photos denotes the proportion of photographs taken within these areas containing the word “art”. You may also want to take note of Postcode Districts as this indicates which neighbourhood each row corresponds to making it easier for contextualizing results at a place-based level.

From here you can conduct linear regression analysis using Rank Mean Change and Proportion Art Photos as independent variables, allowing you to determine whether there is indeed any correlation between art presence in London neighbourhoods and their property values over time

Research Ideas

• Correlating the value of properties with art presence to inform investment decisions in residential real estate.
• Utilizing Photographs from Flickr as a tool to monitor changes in art presence and creative expression over time.
• Investigating the effects of art preservation/creation initiatives on property values to determine their potential effectiveness
