Where do sold house prices come from?

HM Land Registry’s Price Paid Data, which records every residential sale registered in England and Wales. This site summarises standard sales per postcode district for the twelve months to 31 July 2026.

Is this my house’s value?

No. It is the median and range of what sold in your postcode district, split by type. A valuation of one address depends on size, condition and street; the Land Registry search shows individual sales by street.

Why is the latest month low?

Sales are registered weeks or months after completion, so the newest month is always incomplete and is filled in on later refreshes.

Which is the most expensive postcode district?

SW1X (London) at a median of £2,497,500 across 50 sales; the cheapest with twenty or more sales is SR1 (Sunderland) at £50,000.

Are Scotland and Northern Ireland included?

No. HM Land Registry covers England and Wales; Scotland’s sales are published by Registers of Scotland and Northern Ireland’s by Land & Property Services.

The figures are every standard residential sale HM Land Registry registered in the district in the twelve months to 31 July 2026 — 605,006 sales across England and Wales — summarised as a median with quartiles and split by property type. Repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio transfers and other non-standard sales are excluded. It is a district picture, not a valuation of one address: for a specific property, the Land Registry’s own price paid search lists individual sales by street.

How to read the numbers

The median is the middle sale — half sold for more, half for less — and it moves less than the average when a few very expensive homes change hands. The quartiles show the range the middle half of sales fell in; a wide gap means a mixed district (flats and large houses together), a narrow one a uniform street pattern. The year-on-year change compares medians of two twelve-month windows and is only shown where both had at least ten sales. Because Land Registry data arrives with a lag, the most recent month is always understated — the figures firm up on the next monthly refresh.

For landlords

Every district page pairs the sold-price median with the council tax band mix, the 2026/27 charges, how old the homes are and — where ONS publishes a local rent — the gross yield the median price implies. Run a purchase through the second-home stamp duty calculator, the mortgage stress test and the yield calculator; if you are selling, the capital gains tax calculator and the 60-day reporting deadline apply.
