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 June 2024, house prices increased by 2.7 percent. According to the Nationwide Building Society, the average house price exceeded 265,000 British pounds in 2022. 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.

The number of housing transactions in the UK declined for the second year in a row in 2023, falling below the 2020 level. Amid worsening homebuyer sentiment, house purchases declined from approximately 1.5 million transactions with a value of 40,000 British pounds and above in 2021, to one million in 2023. For residential transactions, England constituted the majority of purchases.

This repository is the second updated version of the attribute-linked residential property price dataset in UK Data Service ReShare 854240 (https://reshare.ukdataservice.ac.uk/854240/). As with the first updated version (ReShare 855033 https://reshare.ukdataservice.ac.uk/855033/) in 2021, this updated dataset contains individual property transactions and associated variables from both Land Registry Price Paid Dataset (LR PPD) and the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data. This is a linked result by address matching between LR-PPD data (1/1/1995-27/6/2022) and Domestic EPCs data (the twelfth version: ending with 30/6/2022). It is the whole of the 2022 update house price per square metre dataset published in the Greater London Authority (GLA) London Datastore (https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/house-price-per-square-metre-in-england-and-wales).

The linked dataset in this repository is the uncorrected version, recording almost 20 million transactions with 106 variables in England and Wales between 1/1/1995 and 27/6/2022. We have offered technical validation and data cleaning code in UKDA ReShare 854240 to help users to evaluate the representation and to clean up the data. There is no unique way to clean this raw linked dataset, so we suggest users develop their own clean-up process based on their research requirements. In addition, this repository covers the original LR PPD and Domestic EPCs for the linked data (house price per square metre dataset). Similar to the first updated version, a field header has been added in LR PPD. Six variables (individual lodgement identifier, address, address 1, address 2, address 3, postcode) in Domestic EPCs are removed. A newly created unique identifier (id) is added in Domestic EPCs, this id is newly created for Version 12 Domestic EPCs. It is not the same id as in the Domestic EPCs from UK Data Service ReShare 854240 and ReShare 855033. Since November 2021 DLUCH has published Domestic EPCs with the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) hence the dataset in this repository contains the UPRN information from the Domestic EPCs.

Average annual and quarterly house prices based on Land Registry data, by borough.

Lower and Upper quartile prices are included in the table. Quarterly Lower Quartile data is taken from DCLG Table 583 up to Q3 2011. All other data is from Land Registry.
Excluded from the above figures are sales at less than market price (e.g. Right To Buy), sales below £1,000 and sales above £20m.
The "median" property price is determined by ranking all property prices in ascending order.
The median is the mid-point of this ranking with 50 per cent of prices below the median and 50 per cent above
The figures for the latest quarter are provisional and figures for all other quarters have been revised.

Data from CLG Table numbers: 581, 582, 585 and 586.

From the 1st of November 2012 DCLG no longer publishes this data at regional level.

Now also includes monthly data from the Land Registry.

Also available are Average house prices for London, by borough, ward, LSOA and MSOA, based on GLA calculations of Land Registry price paid datasets.
