The monthly house price index in London has increased since 2015, albeit with fluctuation. In August 2025, the index reached 99.1, which is a slight decrease from the same month in 2024. Nevertheless, prices widely varied in different London boroughs, with Kensington and Chelsea being the priciest boroughs for an apartment purchase.

Housing Index in the United Kingdom increased to 517.10 points in October from 514.20 points in September of 2025. This dataset provides - United Kingdom House Price Index - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

The house price index in London reached 99.1 index points in May 2025, which was an increase of 2.2 percent year on year. The house price index (HPI) is an easy way of illustrating trends in the house sales market and help simplify house purchase decisions. By using hedonic regression, the index models property price data for all dwellings and shows how much the price has changed since January 2023. Average house prices in Londnon boroughs Location plays a huge role in the price of a home. Kensington and Chelsea and City of Westminster are undoubtedly the most expensive boroughs in London, with an average house price that can exceed one million British pounds. In comparison, a house in Barking and Dagenham cost approximately one third. Nevertheless, the housing market is the busiest in the boroughs with average house prices. How have regional house prices in the UK developed? House prices in other UK regions have risen even more than in London. In Northern Ireland, the house price index reached nearly 120 index points in May 2025, ranking it among the regions with the highest property appreciation. The UK house price index stood at 103 index points, suggesting an increase of 51 percent since 2015.

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.

House prices in the UK rose dramatically during the coronavirus pandemic, with growth slowing down in 2022 and turning negative in 2023. The year-on-year annual house price change peaked at 14 percent in July 2022. In April 2025, house prices increased by 3.5 percent. As of late 2024, the average house price was close to 290,000 British pounds. Correction in housing prices: a European phenomenon The trend of a growing residential real estate market was not exclusive to the UK during the pandemic. Likewise, many European countries experienced falling prices in 2023. When comparing residential property RHPI (price index in real terms, e.g. corrected for inflation), countries such as Germany, France, Italy, and Spain also saw prices decline. Sweden, one of the countries with the fastest growing residential markets, saw one of the largest declines in prices. How has demand for UK housing changed since the outbreak of the coronavirus? The easing of the lockdown was followed by a dramatic increase in home sales. In November 2020, the number of mortgage approvals reached an all-time high of over 107,000. One of the reasons for the housing boom were the low mortgage rates, allowing home buyers to take out a loan with an interest rate as low as 2.5 percent. That changed as the Bank of England started to raise the base lending rate, resulting in higher borrowing costs and a decline in homebuyer sentiment.

In 2022, house price growth in the UK slowed, after a period of decade-long increase. Nevertheless, in June 2025, prices reached a new peak, with the average home costing ******* British pounds. This figure refers to all property types, including detached, semi-detached, terraced houses, and flats and maisonettes. Compared to other European countries, the UK had some of the highest house prices. How have UK house prices increased over the last 10 years? Property prices have risen dramatically over the past decade. According to the UK house price index, the average house price has grown by over ** percent since 2015. This price development has led to the gap between the cost of buying and renting a property to close. In 2023, buying a three-bedroom house in the UK was no longer more affordable than renting one. Consequently, Brits have become more likely to rent longer and push off making a house purchase until they have saved up enough for a down payment and achieved the financial stability required to make the step. What caused the recent fluctuations in house prices? House prices are affected by multiple factors, such as mortgage rates, supply, and demand on the market. For nearly a decade, the UK experienced uninterrupted house price growth as a result of strong demand and a chronic undersupply. Homebuyers who purchased a property at the peak of the housing boom in July 2022 paid ** percent more compared to what they would have paid a year before. Additionally, 2022 saw the most dramatic increase in mortgage rates in recent history. Between December 2021 and December 2022, the **-year fixed mortgage rate doubled, adding further strain to prospective homebuyers. As a result, the market cooled, leading to a correction in pricing.

Update 29-04-2020: The data is now split into two files based on the variable collection frequency (monthly and yearly). Additional variables added: area size in hectares, number of jobs in the area, number of people living in the area.

Context

I have been inspired by Xavier and his work on Barcelona to explore the city of London! 🇬🇧 💂

Content

The datasets is primarily centered around the housing market of London. However, it contains a lot of additional relevant data: - Monthly average house prices - Yearly number of houses - Yearly number of houses sold - Yearly percentage of households that recycle - Yearly life satisfaction - Yearly median salary of the residents of the area - Yearly mean salary of the residents of the area - Monthly number of crimes committed - Yearly number of jobs - Yearly number of people living in the area - Area size in hectares

The data is split by areas of London called boroughs (a flag exists to identify these), but some of the variables have other geographical UK regions for reference (like England, North East, etc.). There have been no changes made to the data except for melting it into a long format from the original tables.

The dataset lends itself for extensive exploratory data analysis. It could also be a great supervised learning regression problem to predict house price changes of different boroughs over time.

Art Presence & Property Prices in London

Quantifying the Relationship with Online Data

By [source]

About this dataset

This dataset explores the potential relationship between art presence and property prices in London neighborhoods. We conducted an analysis to investigate this by measuring the proportion of Flickr photographs with the keyword ‘art’ attached. We then compared that data to residential property price gains for each Inner London neighborhood, seeking out any associations or correlations between art presence and housing value. Our findings demonstrate the impact of aesthetics on neighborhoods, illustrating how visual environment influences socio-economic conditions. With this dataset, we aim to show how online platforms can be leveraged for quantitative data collection and analysis which can visualize these relationships so as to better understand our urban settings

How to use the dataset

This dataset can be used to investigate the relationship between art presence and property prices in London neighborhoods. The dataset includes three columns – Postcode.District, Rank.Mean.Change, and Proportion.Art.Photos – which provide quantitative analyses of the association between art presence and price gains for London neighborhoods.

To use this dataset, first identify the postcode district for which you wish to access data by referencing a street list or PostCodeSearcher website that outlines postcodes for each neighborhood in London(http://postcodesearcher.com/london). This will allow you to easily find properties within each neighborhood as there are specific postcode districts that demarcate boundaries of particular areas (for example W2 covers Bayswater).

Once you have identified a postcode district of interest, review the ‘Rank.Mean Change’ column to explore how residential property prices have changed relative to other areas in Inner London since 2010-13 using fractions (1 = highest gain; 25 = lowest gain). Focusing on one particular location will also provide an idea about their current pricing level compared with others in order to evaluate whether further investment is worthwhile or not based on its past history of growth rates . It is important to note that higher rank numbers indicate higher price gains while lower rank numbers indicate lower price gains relative with respect from 2010-13 timeframe therefore comparing these values across many neighborhoods gives an indication as what area offers more value growth wise over given time period..

Finally pay attention how much did art contributes as far change in property price goes? To answer this question , review ‘Proportion Art Photos’ column which provides ratio of Flickr photographs associated with keyword 'art' attached within given regions helps identify visual characteristics within different localities.. Comparing proportions across various locations provide detail information regarding how much did share visual aesthetic characterstics impacts change in pricings accross different region.. For example it can give us further understandings if majority photographs are made up of urban landscape , abstracts or simply portrait presences had any role play when we look at relativity gains over past few years? Such comparisons help inform our understanding about potential impact art presence can have on changes stay relatively stable even during volatile market times..

By combining this data with other datasets related to demographics, infrastructure and socioeconomics present within londons different areas we can gain further insight which then allows us making informed decisions when it comes investing particular locations .

Research Ideas

• Use this dataset to develop a predictive analytics model to identify areas in London most likely to experience an increase in residential property prices associated with the presence of art.
• Use this dataset to develop strategies and policies that promote both artistic expression and urban development in Inner London neighborhoods.
• Compare the presence of art across inner London boroughs, as well as against other cities, to gain insight into the socio-economic conditions related to the visual environment of a city and its impact on life quality for citizens

After a period of rapid increase, house price growth in the UK has moderated. In 2025, house prices are forecast to increase by ****percent. Between 2025 and 2029, the average house price growth is projected at *** percent. According to the source, home building is expected to increase slightly in this period, fueling home buying. On the other hand, higher borrowing costs despite recent easing of mortgage rates and affordability challenges may continue to suppress transaction activity. Historical house price growth in the UK House prices rose steadily between 2015 and 2020, despite minor fluctuations. In the following two years, prices soared, leading to the house price index jumping by about 20 percent. As the market stood in April 2025, the average price for a home stood at approximately ******* British pounds. Rents are expected to continue to grow According to another forecast, the prime residential market is also expected to see rental prices grow in the next five years. Growth is forecast to be stronger in 2025 and slow slightly until 2029. The rental market in London is expected to follow a similar trend, with Outer London slightly outperforming Central London.
