In March 2025, the price of urban land for development in the United Kingdom was 1.9 percent lower than a year earlier. However, the value of greenfield land increased in early 2025 compared to the same period of the previous year. In 2023, London had the highest industrial land value in the UK.
Although the value of development land in the United Kingdom (UK) is forecasted to continue growing between 2022 and 2026, the growth rate is expected to slow down. According to the forecast, land values are expected to increase by *** percent in 2022 and by three percent in 2023. In recent years, house prices have increased considerably across the UK due to the especially high demand, limited availability and rising construction costs. With the housing market cooling down, it can be expected that land values will also be affected. It is expected that by 2026, the annual development land value growth rate will decrease to *** percent.
This dataset contains three years of land value estimates for policy appraisal, with residential land value estimates by local authority. It provides an estimate of a ‘typical’ residential site in each of England’s local authorities. The data is produced by the Valuation Office Agency and published by Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Goverment (MHCLG) in the form of three pdf reports and one spreadsheet providing 2017 data only.The land values have been extracted from the pdf reports for 2014 and 2015, and put into the same format as the 2017 spreadsheet. Local Authority and Region codes have been added to assist with mapping the data.Values of individual sites are highly sensitive to plot-specific characteristics and the report does not present estimates of market value. As a result the estimates are not suitable for use other than for policy appraisal. Values are expressed in pounds sterling per hectare.
Our Price Paid Data includes information on all property sales in England and Wales that are sold for value and are lodged with us for registration.

These National Statistics provide monthly estimates of the number of residential and non-residential property transactions in the UK and its constituent countries. National Statistics are accredited official statistics.
England and Northern Ireland statistics are based on information submitted to the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) database by taxpayers on SDLT returns.
Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) replaced SDLT in Scotland from 1 April 2015 and this data is provided to HMRC by https://www.revenue.scot/">Revenue Scotland to continue the time series.
Land Transaction Tax (LTT) replaced SDLT in Wales from 1 April 2018. To continue the time series, the https://gov.wales/welsh-revenue-authority">Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA) have provided HMRC with a monthly data feed of LTT transactions since July 2021.
LTT figures for the latest month are estimated using a grossing factor based on data for the most recent and complete financial year. Until June 2021, LTT transactions for the latest month were estimated by HMRC based upon year on year growth in line with other UK nations.
LTT transactions up to the penultimate month are aligned with LTT statistics.

Price Paid Data tracks the residential property sales in England and Wales that are lodged with HM Land Registry for registration.
Our price paid data tracks the residential property sales in England and Wales that are lodged with us for registration. The dataset is a reliable source of house price information and consists of more than 24 million definitive records dating back to January 1995. For more information on this dataset and what it does and doesn't include, visit https://www.gov.uk/about-the-price-paid-data
Choose from three options to select the data that best meets your requirements:
monthly file: contains a single monthly file of the transactions received in the period from the first to the last day of the corresponding month, including any changes or deletions to previously downloaded data. The data is updated monthly and the average size of this file is 11 MB.
single file: contains all the up to date data from 1995 to the current date. The data is updated monthly and the average size of this file is 2.86 GB.
yearly files: contains annual files of up to date data, ranging from 1995 to the current date. Unlike the monthly files described above, yearly files are collated on the date of the transaction/deed date rather than the date that the information was lodged with HM Land Registry. The data is updated monthly and the sizes of these files range from 87 MB to 222 MB. If you are having trouble downloading any of the year files in full, they are also available as two smaller, evenly split CSV files.
We try to make sure that our public data is accurate, but cannot guarantee that it is free from errors or fit for your purpose or use. Reports are based on data collected at the time a property transaction is registered with us and will not necessarily be up to date with the most recent information.
