How it is made
Worked out by Open Index from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data.
Each standard sale in Price Paid Data is placed in the neighbourhood, middle area and council that hold its postcode's centre point in the ONS Postcode Directory. The median is the middle price of the sales in an area in a calendar year (halfway between the two middle prices when there is an even number), rounded to the pound. Each level is worked out from its own sales, never by averaging smaller areas. Areas with fewer than 10 sales in a year have no median.
Larger areas use the publisher’s own figures, never an average of smaller areas.
Zoom in past neighbourhood level and the map keeps the neighbourhood shapes and says so, rather than inventing detail.

Before you use it
- This is the median of the homes that sold in the year, not the value of every home. An area where mostly flats sold looks cheaper than one where mostly houses sold.
- It is not the UK House Price Index, which adjusts for the mix of homes sold and smooths council figures over three months. Use the index to follow prices over time, and this to see what sold where.
- Only standard sales are counted, homes sold for their full value. Repossessions, buy-to-let purchases with a mortgage, sales to companies and other property types are left out.
- Areas with fewer than 10 sales in a year have no median.
- Each sale is placed by the centre of its postcode, so a sale near a boundary can land in the next area.
- Sales take weeks or months to be registered, so the latest year may still change a little. A year appears once it is complete.
- Price Paid Data leaves out sales that were not for value, such as gifts, and right to buy sales at a discount.
