Notes on Local Authority Housing Statistics (LAHS) open data
These datafiles contain the underlying data used to create the main LAHS tables and reflect the latest revisions to historical LAHS data. There will therefore be some minor discrepancies when compared to individual historical publications of LAHS tables.
LAHS questions are represented in this open data file by the question codes as recorded in the latest form (the 2024-25 return). This may differ from the code they were originally assigned, but the aim is to facilitate a time series analysis. Variables that have been discontinued are usually not included in this file, with only a few exceptions where they provide information that helps understand other data.
A data dictionary for this open data can be found in the accessible Open Document Spreadsheet file.

TwitterThe UK House Price Index (UK HPI) captures changes in the value of residential properties. The UK HPI uses sales data collected on residential housing transactions, whether for cash or with a mortgage. For more information, please read the Land Registry's documentation: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/about-the-uk-house-price-index/about-the-uk-house-price-index From February 2025, the UK House Price Index has been re-referenced from January 2015 to January 2023. Historical data from 1995 onwards has also been revised to align with this update. These changes reflect market shifts, including an increase in sales of smaller properties and fewer sales in higher-value areas like London. For more details, see the UK HPI publication for more information - https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/uk-house-price-index-reports
