UK House Price Index by Local Authority

Get the official UK House Price Index (UK HPI) for any UK local authority or region, month by month: average house price, index, annual and monthly percentage change, and sales volume, broken down by property type (detached, semi-detached, terraced, flat/maisonette, new build, first-time buyer, cash or mortgage, and more).

This is the government's own measure, not an estate-agent estimate or a portal asking price. It covers the whole United Kingdom down to individual local authorities.

Data comes from HM Land Registry's free public UK HPI linked-data service (landregistry.data.gov.uk). No API key, no login and no proxy.

Who it is for

• Estate agents, valuers and surveyors comparing local price trends.
• Property investors and developers comparing local authorities or regions.
• Mortgage, proptech and dashboard teams who need official averages, not individual sales.
• Journalists and analysts tracking the UK housing market.

If you need individual sold prices (Price Paid transactions) rather than monthly averages, this Actor is not the right tool. Use a Price Paid Actor instead.

Input

• Areas: UK HPI area names, e.g. Caerphilly, Cardiff, Manchester, Wales, London, England, United Kingdom. Names are matched to Land Registry region slugs (lower case, spaces become hyphens). Unknown names are reported as warnings, not errors.
• Months back (default 12): most recent published months per area.
• Property types: which breakdowns to include (all = every property type).
• Skip empty months (default on).

Example: 12 months for one Welsh local authority

{
  "areas": ["Caerphilly"],
  "monthsBack": 12,
  "propertyTypes": ["all", "detached", "semiDetached", "terraced", "flatMaisonette"],
  "skipEmptyMonths": true
}

Example: latest year for four nations

{
  "areas": ["England", "Scotland", "Wales", "Northern Ireland"],
  "monthsBack": 12,
  "propertyTypes": ["all"],
  "skipEmptyMonths": true
}

Output

One dataset row per area per month (type: "month"), plus one type: "summary" row per area (latest price, annual change, change over the period, min/max, total sales volume). A SUMMARY record is also saved in the key-value store.

Example month row (Caerphilly, August 2026): average price £198,545, index 108.3, +4.4% annual, +0.9% monthly; detached £313,999.

Export to CSV, Excel or JSON, or pull the dataset through the Apify API, n8n, Make or Zapier.

Pricing

Pay per result: $1.00 per 1,000 rows ($0.001 per area-month or summary row), plus Apify's minimum actor-start event ($0.00005). You are charged only for rows delivered. Platform compute is included in the event price.

A typical 12-month run for one local authority (12 month rows + 1 summary row) costs a little over 1 cent.

Things to know

• UK HPI figures are revised by HM Land Registry for several months after first publication.
• The index is published roughly two months in arrears, so the newest available month is not last month.
• The newest 1–2 months usually have no sales volume yet (shown as null). Sales volume lags further than prices. That is the source, not a gap in this Actor.
• Data is aggregate statistics only. No addresses, individual sales or personal data.
• Prices are in GBP. The index is set so that January 2015 equals 100. Area names follow Land Registry naming.
• Not every breakdown exists at every level. Anything Land Registry does not publish comes back as null, never as zero.
