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.

Introduction

This dataset provides comprehensive information on property sales in England and Wales, sourced from the UK government's HM Land Registry. Although the government site claims to update on the same day each month, actual updates can vary. To bridge this update variation gap, our fully automated ETL pipeline retrieves the official government data on a daily basis. This ensures that the dataset always reflects the most current transaction data available.

ETL Process

Our ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process is designed to automate the data update and publishing workflow: 1. Extract:
The pipeline uses web scraping to retrieve the latest data from the official government website. This step is necessary as the site does not offer an API. 2. Transform:
Before loading the data, the ETL pipeline processes the dataset to ensure consistency and usability. As part of the transformation stage, the first column (Transaction_unique_identifier) is removed. This column is dropped during staging to focus on the most relevant transactional information. The column removal successfully reduces the data file size from almost 6GB to 3.1GB, and therefore will greatly increase the data analysis efficiency, and reduces the chance of kernal error/restart. 3. Load:
Finally, the transformed data is loaded into the dataset.

The transformed data is loaded into the dataset in two parts: - Complete Data (pp-complete.csv): This file encompasses all records from January 1995 to the present. The complete data file is replaced during each update to reflect any corrections or additional historical data. The first column is price. - Monthly Data: A separate monthly file is amended each month. This monthly archive ensures a complete record of updates over time, allowing users to track changes and trends more granularly.

Summary of Results

The dataset (pp-complete.csv) contains records of property sales dating back to January 1995, up to the most recent monthly data. It covers various types of transactions—from residential to commercial properties—providing a holistic view of the real estate market in England and Wales.

- Town/City
- District

Note: As part of the transformation process, the Transaction_unique_identifier column is removed from the final published pp-complete.csv data file. Therefore the first column of the pp-complete.csv file is price.

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.

The Residential Property Price Index is a quarterly composite index, combining the Northern Ireland House Price Index with the Northern Ireland Apartment Price Index. It is designed to provide a measure of the change in price of a “typical” residential property sold in Northern Ireland, over the reference period. The index uses information on all residential properties sales each quarter.

The UK house price index (UK HPI) represents changes in the value of UK residential properties (i.e., detached houses, semi-detached houses, terraced houses, flats and maisonettes) and indicates trends in the UK housing market. The UK HPI applies a hedonic regression model that utilises the various sources of data on property price (e.g., HM Land Registry's Price Paid dataset) to allow for a true comparison of UK property prices in each period. The data is sourced from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and HM Land Registry, using house sales data from HM Land Registry, Registers of Scotland, and Land and Property Services Northern Ireland. Forecast data is estimated by IBISWorld, with reference to Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecasts submitted in its 'Economic and fiscal outlook – March 2022' publication. The figures are presented with a base month in 2015 (i.e., January 2015 = 100) and are averages of the UK HPI over each financial year (i.e., April-March).
