This section contains information about housing house prices, past, present and future. The main house price data used by analysts are Land Registry for past prices and you can buy this data at a local level. Other data regularly used are from the Halifax and Nationwide due to the longevity of their information.

There are issues though with all house price data, so it's worth reading Kate's monthly market update to get to grips with what to use for what purpose and as an example of how to interpret house prices for consumers.
