Sold Price History


Where the data comes from

Every figure on this site comes from a named public source, and every source is listed here with its licence, its release date and exactly which pages it feeds. Nothing on the site is modelled, estimated or bought.

Sold prices

Price Paid Data — HM Land Registry

Every completed sale of residential property in England and Wales, with the price, the date, the address, the property type, tenure and whether it was a new build. Published monthly.

UK House Price Index — HM Land Registry

The official mix-adjusted index. Used only for comparison, never as a price: the national page sets our plain median against it so the difference between the two measures is visible.

The homes themselves

Energy Performance Certificates — Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government

A certificate is issued whenever a home is built, sold or let. It records the floor area and an efficiency band. The register covers far more homes than have ever changed hands, which is why the size and energy figures rest on a much larger sample than the sold record.

Local context

Housing affordability — Office for National Statistics

The ratio of median house price to median gross annual workplace-based earnings, by local authority. It is the standard measure of whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Price Index of Private Rents — Office for National Statistics

Mean private rents by local authority, overall and by bedroom count. Used to turn a hypothetical yield into a measured one: a real local rent over a real local price.

  • Feeds: the rent and gross yield figures in “Living in…” on each area page.
  • Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0.
  • Source: ONS Price Index of Private Rents.

Street-level crime — police.uk

Every crime recorded by a police force at street level, published monthly. Two limits are stated on the pages themselves rather than buried here: a count within a mile of a district centre is not a rate, and some forces do not supply street-level data at all — where that happens the page says so instead of printing a zero.

  • Feeds: the recorded crime paragraph in “Living in…” on area pages.
  • Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0.
  • Source: data.police.uk.

Postcode geography — Office for National Statistics, via postcodes.io

Which local authority and region each postcode district falls in, and its centroid. This is what lets a postcode district be joined to affordability, rent and crime figures published at council level.

  • Feeds: the “sits in…” line on every area page, and the joins behind affordability, rent and crime.
  • Licence: Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database right; contains Royal Mail data © Royal Mail copyright and database right; contains National Statistics data © Crown copyright and database right. Open Government Licence v3.0.
  • Source: postcodes.io.

Schools — Department for Education

Get Information About Schools lists every open establishment with its postcode, phase, type and roll. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so the pages say what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Stations — NaPTAN, Department for Transport

Every rail, underground, tram and ferry access point in Great Britain. Distances are straight lines from the district centre, not walking routes.

  • Feeds: the nearest-stations table on area pages.
  • Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0.
  • Source: NaPTAN.

Census 2021 — Office for National Statistics, via Nomis

Population, household counts and tenure by local authority. Population is what turns a raw crime count into a rate; tenure shows how much of a place is owned rather than rented, which the sold record cannot see.

  • Feeds: the census sentence in “The neighbourhood around…” and the crimes-per-thousand figure.
  • Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0.
  • Source: Nomis.

Coastline — Natural Earth

The England and Wales outline behind the maps. It is drawn as a vector rather than an image so it uses the same projection as the dots and takes its colours from the page.

Money

CPIH — Office for National Statistics

The Consumer Prices Index including owner occupiers’ housing costs. Every “in today’s money” figure on the site is a past price multiplied by the ratio of the latest index value to the value for the year of sale.

  • Feeds: every real-terms figure, the dashed line on every chart, and the real-terms rankings.
  • Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0.
  • Source: ONS inflation and price indices.

What is not here

No automated valuations, no asking prices, no agent listings, no estimates of what a home is worth today. Where a figure cannot be built from the sources above, the page says so and leaves the space empty. The methodology sets out the thresholds and the known limits of each source.

Reusing this

The underlying data is open. If you quote a figure from this site, cite the original source above rather than us — it is the register, not the archive, that holds the record. Attribution for the site itself appears at the foot of every archive page.

What we calculate ourselves

Two figures on this site are ours rather than any publisher’s, and both are described where they appear. The repeat-sales index is built from every address in the archive that has sold more than once, so it follows the same bricks through time instead of adjusting for a changing mix. The real-terms figures apply the ONS CPIH index to prices from the register. Both are reproducible from the sources above and the method is set out in the methodology.
