HM Land Registry’s Price Paid Data records and tracks property sales in England and Wales as submitted to HM Land Registry for registration. The dataset contains single residential properties sold for value since 1995, and since 2013 includes transfers under power of sale/repossessions, buy-to-lets (where identifiable by Mortgage type) and transfers to non-private individuals. The dataset is subject to certain exclusions. It is available for download as single, monthly or yearly files

This dataset contains data on all Real Property parcels that have sold since 2013 in Allegheny County, PA.

Before doing any market analysis on property sales, check the sales validation codes. Many property "sales" are not considered a valid representation of the true market value of the property. For example, when multiple lots are together on one deed with one price they are generally coded as invalid ("H") because the sale price for each parcel ID number indicates the total price paid for a group of parcels, not just for one parcel. See the Sales Validation Codes Dictionary for a complete explanation of valid and invalid sale codes.

Sales Transactions Disclaimer: Sales information is provided from the Allegheny County Department of Administrative Services, Real Estate Division. Content and validation codes are subject to change. Please review the Data Dictionary for details on included fields before each use. Property owners are not required by law to record a deed at the time of sale. Consequently the assessment system may not contain a complete sales history for every property and every sale. You may do a deed search at http://www.alleghenycounty.us/re/index.aspx directly for the most updated information. Note: Ordinance 3478-07 prohibits public access to search assessment records by owner name. It was signed by the Chief Executive in 2007.

Land Sale Records

The real estate sale case genuine registration information includes information such as the location of the subject (de-identified), area, total price, etc. (Sanchong District)

UK Government House Price Index (HPI) data, up to and including August 2022.

**UPDATE (19/4/2023): Version 2 of this dataset contains data up to February 2023 in the file 'UK-HPI-full-file-2023-02.csv' ** The dataset consists of various metrics calculated from individual property transaction records. This data is stored on a regional basis with records made for each date period split based on averages across property type (Flat, Terraced, SemiDetached, Detached), method of purchase (Cash, Mortgage), buyer type (First Time Buyer, Former Owner Occupier) and property status (New Build, Existing (Old)).

Each of these subsets has data regarding average prices (normal and seasonally adjusted), sales volume, 12-month percentage price change, 1-month percentage price change, plus an index value which uses hedonic regression - matching sale price data with the attributes of a property (such as number of bedrooms, floor space, etc) to give an overview of the market.

This series records details of land sales within the Hamilton District made by the Hamilton Local Land Office of the Department of Crown Lands and Survey. Information recorded includes Lot Number, allotment and section number, county and parish, extent sold and unsold, why not sold, upset price, valuation amount, name and residence of purchaser, and amount of deposit and balance payable. Lot numbers for lots withdrawn from sale are listed at the beginning of each sale entry.

Considerable details are included in Unit 1 of the sales of lands made in Agricultural Areas under the provisions of the Land Act 1862. Tabulated are the lands to be open for selection after a specified date with details of the county, parish, sections and allotments and subdivision (A or B).

The series was ended in 1885 when financial details were recorded on the Land Sales Reports rather than in the register.

Units 1 - 2 of the P1 consignment of this series were previously registered as Units 6 - 8 of VPRS 1285 Register of Land Sales.

Land Sales were conducted in Victoria in accordance with the directions specified by various Land Acts and Regulations. From the 1842 Statute at Large (Vol. XXXIV), the Waste Lands Act, through to the Land Act 1869 (Act No. 360), Land Sale by Public Auction was the primary method of land alienation within the Colony of Victoria (or the Port Phillip District, as it was previously known). Lands were initially divided into three districts and classes. These districts were settled districts, intermediate districts and unsettled districts. First and second class lands were primarily located within the settled and intermediate districts, whilst third class lands tended to be within the unsettled districts.

The Colonial Government wanted to encourage settlers to occupy and work the land in the unsettled districts, and it was argued that Land Sales by Public Auction were not achieving this goal. A series of Land Acts, beginning with the 1860 Land Act (Act No. 117), followed in order to encourage people to settle and work the land in unsettled districts. To achieve this, the 1869 Land Act focused on land alienation through selection and leasing of Crown Land rather than the Sale of Land through Public Auction. Auctions of Crown Land continued to occur after the 1869 Land Act, although at a much slower rate, and legislation governing Auctions has continued to be incorporated in Victorian Land Acts.

The responsibility for Land Sales was handled by the Chief Clerk as head of the Land Sales and Selection Branch until the restructuring of the Department of Crown Land and Survey created the Occupation Branch in the 1870's. This restructuring included the division of Victoria into a number of Lands Districts. Each Land District had a local Land Office, as well as a centralised Land Office located within the Melbourne Office. Each centralised Land Office consisted of a desk with a clerk and a draughtsman dedicated to a particular Lands District. The local Land Office and the centralised Land Office communicated with each other regularly in order to ensure that the details regarding the alienation of land were accurate and to ensure accountability and consistency. This meant that two Land Sales registers were compiled of Land Sales for any specific area, one by the local Land Office and one by the centralised Land Office. Keeping two registers was a measure intended to ensure the integrity of the records created by Lands Office by making intentional fraud more difficult for an individual to achieve, and so that the amount paid for lands could be checked to ensure that the correct amount had been recorded.

Land Sales of Crown Land were important means of obtaining revenue for the Government during the first few decades of the Colony. The 1842 Waste Land Act specified that the revenue raised through Land Sales would go towards immigration schemes to encourage prospective settlers. The Chief Clerk prepared schedules containing the details of available lands based on reports from the local officers and district surveyors, and communications with the Surveyor General and others within the Department. Information in the Schedules included descriptions of the land, their situation, and their quality. These schedules went before the Board of Land and Works for consideration until the 1869 Land Act increased demand for land to such a degree that this was no longer possible.

The Land Sales process followed depended on the type of land being sold - that is, whether they were town lands, auriferous (i.e gold bearing) lands, or country lands. This process would begin with an application for a specific section of land, detailing the allotment, section, and description of the land desired (see VPRS 1258 Inward Correspondence). For Town Lots, a person would come into the Melbourne Office and fill in an application form. Those seeking auriferous lands would make an application to the district surveyor. People wanting country lands would send in a letter containing the information needed for the application, or use an agent. Applications would be registered, and sent to the district surveyor to check for possible objections to the particular land specified being available for sale. If there were no objections recorded by the district surveyor, a schedule containing descriptions of the land available for sale would be drawn up. For auriferous and country lands, the district surveyor's schedule would include valuations for improvements, such as boundary fences, and upset prices (see VPRS 919 Certificate of Valuation of Improvements (Crown Land) and VPRS 6903 Certificates of Valuation of Land Improvements). The price of the land would need to include the value of the improvements so that those who constructed the improvements could be properly compensated for their investment. Once schedules containing auriferous lands were received by the Melbourne Office, plans of the land included in the schedule would be drafted, coloured off, and sent to the Mining Department. If there was an objection to the sale of the land by the Mining Department, the land would be struck off the schedule. If there were no objections, the land would be included in the next land sale gazetted to be held in that district. The land would be placed in the schedule to be approved by the Minister for Lands, and this schedule would then be brought before the Governor-In-Council. If there was a prohibition against the sale of Country Lands in place, the sale could only proceed with special sanction by the Minister. A notice concerning the land would then be placed in the Government Gazette and various newspapers (see VPRS 11869 Notices of Land Sale by Public Auction). Between one to three months after the sale was gazetted, the land would be sold at the Auction Rooms. A deposit was to be paid at the Auction Rooms, with the remainder to be paid within a calendar month of the dale of sale.

Once the land had been surveyed and designated as being available for Public Auction, a notice was posted in the Government Gazette. This occurred between one to three months before the date of a sale. The notice contained the Sale Number (a sequential number from 1860), details of the date, time and location of the sale, the location and description of the land to be sold, the lot it was to be sold in, the upset price, and the deposit required. Auctioneers prepared an Auctioneers Report for the Department of Crown Land and Survey (and the Board of Land and Works) to inform them of which land was sold, to whom, for what price and what deposit (see VPRS 80 Auctioneers Reports of Land Sales by Public Auction). This information was transferred to registers in both the Land Sales office and the office in the Land District where the land was located. Land sales held in specific districts were conducted by authorised officers of the Lands Department. Financial records tracked the transfer of monies owed until the sale was finalised.

A report that all lands had been paid for was signed by the receiver of monies and paymaster of the Department of Lands. The Treasurer and Under-Treasurer signed a report that they had received the money. The printed reports or sale books were then sent to the Deeds Branch in order for the Deeds to be prepared. The details would be recorded in a register at the Deeds Branch, and then the sale information would be passed to the Surveyor General's Branch in order to obtain the technical description of the lands before the information was returned to the Deeds Branch. The engrossment would be finalised, the information examined and checked, and then the sale information would be passed to the Chief Draughtsman's branch so that plans could be drawn in the margin of the Grant and the Deed. These were passed back to the Deeds Branch to record that the deed was ready for final issue, before being sent to the Receipt and Pay Office in Melbourne for delivery. The Grant and Deed were signed by the Governor and sent to the Registrar of Titles. The Registrar registered and delivered the Grant to the Grantee, and retained the Deed for safe keeping.

This series was used to record details of property sales within Council boundaries, presumably to keep information in Council ratebooks up to date. The majority of entries refer to allotments of vacant land purchased for what appears to be the first time.

Entries in this register record the:

- number of the property in the rate book (if one had previously been allocated)
- vendor's name
- purchaser's name and address
- description of the property (descriptions used included "land" and "land & house" with street names included when relevant)
- location of the property (county, parish, section & allotment)
- date of purchase, and
- date of receipt of notice of sale.

This series was created by the Land Sales Branch of the Department of Crown Lands and Survey (VA 538).

The series records the monthly statistics of sales by public auction. These registers were created by the department to assist in the preparation of annual reports. The summary data of each individual sale was derived from the Register of Land Sales by Public Auction (VPRS 11862) and summarised monthly, half-yearly and annually.

These records contain information regarding the total amount of revenue received from the sale of Crown lands by public auction and the total area alienated from the Crown in this manner. It appears that the practice of maintaining this form of statistic was abandoned by the department at the end of August 1969.

The Department of Crown Lands and Survey and its successors were responsible for the exploration, survey, alienation, management and use of Crown land in Victoria. The Department administered the sale of land by auction and selection, the issue of occupation licences and leases and the issue of Deeds of Grant for alienated land and for reserves granted for public purposes such as schools and churches.

Initially the sale of land by public auction was the main form of alienation of Crown land. The recordkeeping system governing sales by auction comprises eleven series which document the chain of legal and administrative procedures and processes from advertisement of land for sale to the issue of a Deed of Grant.

The Department prepared lists of lands recommended for sale by officials.
Selectors could also apply for land to be made available for sale. Land designated for sale by auction was proclaimed in the Government Gazette and advertised in newspapers. The Land Sales Branch was responsible for the preparation of technical descriptions of the land which were inserted in the Sale Contract Books (VPRS 873) and subsequently inserted in the Deed of Crown Grant.

Between one and three months prior to the auction, the department prepared and distributed Notices of Land Sale by Public Auction (VPRS 11869). The notices gave details of the sale including the size and orientation of each of the allotments offered for sale.

At the auction, after each individual allotment was sold, details of the purchaser were entered in the previously prepared Sale Contract Books (VPRS 873) next to the technical description of the sold allotment. Data recorded included the purchase price and the name and address of the purchaser. Upon signing the contract the purchaser would receive a receipt for the deposit paid.

The officer conducting the auction was responsible for the preparation of the Auctioneers Reports of Land Sales by Public Auction (VPRS 80). These reports were prepared in duplicate. One copy was sent to the Treasury together with the deposits received and the other was forwarded to the Land Sales Branch.

Details of each individual sale, as recorded in the auctioneers report, were then entered in the general Register of Land Sales by Public Auction (VPRS 11862). Upon receipt of the balance of the purchase money, the Deed Branch prepared the Crown Grant and registered its issue in the applicable Register of Crown Grants. See :-

VPRS 11868 - for the period 1837 to 1851

VPRS 11866 - for the years 1851 to 1858

VPRS 11865 - for the period 1859 to 1988 and

VPRS 11864 for Crown Grants issued between 1988 and 1991.

The department created a Name Index to the Register of Crown Grants. See VPRS 11863 and VPRS 11867, for the periods 1837 to 1851 and 1851 to 1858 respectively. Subsequent registers are self-indexing both by parish/town and name of Grantee.

As part of the recordkeeping system governing the sale of land by public auction, the department also prepared a Statistical Summary of Sales by Auction (VPRS 11861), which provided summary information regarding the total area of land alienated from the Crown in this manner and the revenue received from such sales.

In 1988 under the provisions of Administrative Arrangement Order No.58 legal responsibility for the sale of Crown land was transferred to the Department of Property and Services (VA 430). From 1991 Crown Grants were registered in that departments database which was subsequently maintained by VA 3016 Department of Finance. The database contains details of Crown Grants issued between 1991 and 1997. As at December 1998 both this electronic record and subsequent records are held by VA 3745 Department of Treasury and Finance.

Although the Department of Property and Services was technically responsible for land sales, the Department of Conservation, Forests and Lands continued to manage such sales (particularly in rural areas) as a land agent for the Department of Property and Services.

Abstract

The Owner Transfer and Mortgage data covers over 450 million properties, and includes over 50 years of sales history. The tables were generated in June 2024, and cover all U.S. states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and Washington, D.C.

The Owner Transfer data provides historical information about property sales and ownership-related transactions, including full, nominal, and quitclaim transactions (involving a change in title/ownership). It contains comprehensive property and transaction information, such as property characteristics, current ownership, transaction history, title company, cash purchase/foreclosure/resale/short sale indicators, and buyer information.

The Mortgage data provides historical information at the mortgage level, including purchase, refinance, equity, as well as details associated with each transaction, such as lender, loan amount, loan date, interest rate, etc. Mortgage details include mortgage amount, type of loan (conventional, FHA, VHA), mortgage rate type, mortgage purpose (cash out first, consolidation, standalone subordinate), mortgage ARM features, and mortgage indicators such as fixed-rate, conforming loan, construction loan, and private party. The Mortgage data also includes subordinate mortgage types, rate details, and lender details (NMLS ID, Loan Company, Loan Officers).

The CoreLogic Smart Data Platform (SDP) Owner Transfer and Mortgage data was formerly known as the CoreLogic Deed data. The CoreLogic Deed data contained both owner transfer and mortgage information. In the CoreLogic Smart Data Platform (SDP), this data was separated into two tables: Owner Transfer and Mortgage. Between the two tables, the CoreLogic Smart Data Platform (SDP) Owner Transfer and Mortgage data contains almost all of the variables that were included in the CoreLogic Deed data. Further, each CoreLogic Smart Data Platform (SDP) table is augmented with additional owner transfer and mortgage characteristics.

Methodology

In the United States, parcel data is public record information that describes a division of land (also referred to as "property" or "real estate"). Each parcel is given a unique identifier called an Assessor’s Parcel Number or APN. The two principal types of records maintained by county government agencies for each parcel of land are deed and property tax records. When a real estate transaction takes place (e.g. a change in ownership), a property deed must be signed by both the buyer and seller. The deed will then be filed with the County Recorder’s offices, sometimes called the County Clerk-Recorder or other similar title. Property tax records are maintained by County Tax Assessor’s offices; they show the amount of taxes assessed on a parcel and include a detailed description of any structures or buildings on the parcel, including year built, square footages, building type, amenities like a pool, etc. There is not a uniform format for storing parcel data across the thousands of counties and county equivalents in the U.S.; laws and regulations governing real estate/property sales vary by state. Counties and county equivalents also have inconsistent approaches to archiving historical parcel data.

To fill researchers’ needs for uniform parcel data, CoreLogic collects, cleans, and normalizes public records that they collect from U.S. County Assessor and Recorder offices. CoreLogic augments this data with information gathered from other public and non-public sources (e.g., loan issuers, real estate agents, landlords, etc.). The Stanford Libraries has purchased bulk extracts from CoreLogic’s parcel data, including mortgage, owner transfer, pre-foreclosure, and historical and contemporary tax assessment data. Data is bundled into pipe-delimited text files, which are uploaded to Data Farm (Redivis) for preview, extraction and analysis.

For more information about how the data was prepared for Redivis, please see CoreLogic 2024 GitLab.

Usage

The Property, Mortgage, Owner Transfer, Historical Property and Pre-Foreclosure data can be linked on the CLIP, a unique identification number assigned to each property.

Mortgage records can be linked to a transaction using the MORTGAGE_COMPOSITE_TRANSACTION_ID.
