The Land Registry House Price Index (HPI) captures changes in the value of residential properties. The HPI is published by Land Registry using sales data collected on all residential housing transactions, whether for cash or with a mortgage, in England and Wales since January 1995. You can search indices at a national level as well as for the various regions, counties and London boroughs.  

Our HPI uses a sample size that is larger than all other statistical measures available. The Land Registry data set is the only complete record of residential property transactions in England and Wales

The HPI is calculated by using Land Registry's own 'Price Paid Dataset'. This is a record of all residential property transactions made in England and Wales since January 1995. At present it contains details on over 15 million sales. Of these, over five million are identifiable matched pairs, providing the basis for the repeat-sales regression analysis used to compile the index. This technique of quality adjustment ensures an ‘apples to apples’ comparison between properties.
