About this data

Source: HM Land Registry and ONS, UK House Price Index, August 2026; ONS consumer price inflation (CPI)

• Annual averages of monthly prices. Adjusted for inflation using the Consumer Prices Index (CPI), with ONS's modelled historical CPI estimates before 1988.
• The UK House Price Index is based on completed sales registered with HM Land Registry, Registers of Scotland and Land and Property Services Northern Ireland. It is mix-adjusted, so changes in the types of homes sold do not distort the average.
• Figures before 1995 come from HM Land Registry's back series, which is based on mortgage lender data.
• Recent months are provisional and are revised as more sales are registered.
