UK Sold House Prices — Official HM Land Registry Data

What properties actually sold for, from HM Land Registry's Price Paid Data — the official record of every registered property sale in England and Wales.

This is not listing data. Portals show what sellers ask. This shows what buyers paid, as recorded on the transfer deed.

Coverage

Transactions	31.5 million, 1995 to present
Geography	Every town, district and county in England & Wales
Search by	Town, district, county, or postcode prefix
Filters	Date range, price range, property type, transaction category
Speed	~4 seconds per month of data queried

Who uses this

• Estate agents and valuers — comparable evidence for a valuation, with a citable official source.
• Property investors — what a street or postcode actually transacts at, before making an offer.
• Mortgage and credit analysts — collateral checks and portfolio review against recorded sale prices.
• Developers and land buyers — new-build versus resale pricing in a target area.
• Researchers and journalists — defensible numbers from the official register.

Two output modes

transactions — one row per sale.

stats — quarterly medians and quartiles per postcode area and property type. Thousands of sales collapse into a few dozen rows.

}

Examples

Everything sold in a city last quarter:

{ "town": "BRISTOL", "dateFrom": "2025-01-01", "dateTo": "2025-04-01" }

One neighbourhood, a price band, flats only:

{
  "postcodePrefix": "BS8",
  "dateFrom": "2025-01-01",
  "dateTo": "2025-07-01",
  "minPrice": 400000,
  "maxPrice": 900000,
  "propertyTypes": ["flat"]
}

Market trend for a whole postcode area:

{
  "postcodePrefix": "M",
  "dateFrom": "2023-01-01",
  "dateTo": "2026-01-01",
  "outputFormat": "stats"
}

At least one location is required — town, district, county or postcode prefix. An unbounded query would sweep all 31.5M records, so the Actor refuses it rather than running for an hour.

The category filter matters more than it looks

Land Registry splits sales into two categories, and mixing them quietly corrupts any price analysis:

• Standard — an ordinary sale at full market value between private parties.
• Additional — repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio transfers, sales to non-private buyers, and property types recorded as "Other". Between 12% and 19% of records, depending on area and period.

An "average house price" computed over both is not an average house price. This Actor defaults to standard only and labels every row with its category, so the choice is explicit rather than accidental.

Field reference

Field	Meaning
transactionId	Land Registry's unique reference for the sale
price	Sale price on the transfer deed, GBP
date, year, month	Date of transfer
address	SAON + PAON + street, joined
saon / paon	Secondary / primary addressable object (flat number / house number)
street, locality, town, district, county	Address components as recorded
postcode / postcodeArea	Full postcode and its outward code (e.g. BS31)
propertyType	Detached, Semi-detached, Terraced, Flat/Maisonette, Other
tenure	Freehold or Leasehold (leases of 7 years or less are not registered)
newBuild	True if newly built at the time of sale
category / isStandardSale	Standard or Additional — see above
sourceUrl, scrapedAt	Provenance

Statistics mode adds salesCount, minPrice, p25Price, medianPrice, p75Price, maxPrice, meanPrice, newBuildCount, freeholdCount.

Notes on the data

• Recent months are incomplete. Registration lags completion by two weeks to two months. A query ending today will under-report the last few weeks — this is a property of the register, not of this Actor.
• Deleted and corrected records are already resolved. The bulk CSV feed carries raw add/change/delete markers that must be applied by hand; this Actor reads the endpoint that serves current state, so superseded sales never appear.
• Very low prices are real but are not market sales. A handful of records sit below £1,000 — transfers between related parties, not open-market transactions. Most carry the Additional category, so the default filter removes them.
• Postcodes are as recorded at the time of sale and are not updated if the postcode is later reallocated.
• England and Wales only. Scotland and Northern Ireland maintain separate registers.
