Is it legal?

Yes. Price Paid Data is published by HM Land Registry as open data under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The actor downloads the official bulk files only; it does not use the PPD search app or SPARQL endpoint, which robots.txt asks bots not to crawl.

Royal Mail condition: the address fields include data from Royal Mail and Ordnance Survey. HM Land Registry says this address data may be used for personal and/or non commercial use, and commercially only to display for the purpose of providing residential property price information services. Any other commercial use of the addresses needs permission from Royal Mail (address.management@royalmail.com). You are responsible for your use of the data.

FAQ

How fresh is the data? HM Land Registry publishes monthly, on the 20th working day, with sales registered up to the end of the previous month. Sales take weeks or months to be registered, so the latest 2 to 3 months are incomplete: compare counts with care.

Does it cover Scotland or Northern Ireland? No. Price Paid Data covers England and Wales only.

What is category B? Additional Price Paid entries: repossessions, buy to let purchases with a mortgage, and transfers to companies or other non private individuals. They're excluded by default so comps reflect standard market sales.

Can I get older years? Yes, any date range from 1995. Each extra year means another yearly file is read, so long ranges take longer.
