    Monthly house price inflation in the UK, calculated using data from HM Land Registry, Registers of Scotland, and Land and Property Services Northern Ireland.

The United Kingdom Statistics Authority has designated these statistics as National Statistics, in accordance with the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 and signifying compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

Designation can be broadly interpreted to mean that the statistics:

  • meet identified user needs
  • are well explained and readily accessible
  • are produced according to sound methods
  • are managed impartially and objectively in the public interest

Once statistics have been designated as National Statistics it is a statutory requirement that the Code of Practice shall continue to be observed.

    Reason for change:
    We are pleased to announce that we will be resuming the publication of the UK House Price Index (UK HPI) on August 19 when we’ll begin by publishing the April 2020 index, following the suspension of UK HPI in May 2020. We will be working to a provisional publication schedule (see below) that will see us publish interim releases with a view to resuming normal publication in October with the publication of the August 2020 index. This schedule will ensure we can use as many transactions as possible in each of the suspended periods following the issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. As per our usual revisions policy, the figures for all months are first estimates and are subject to revision in subsequent periods. Provisional publication schedule: 19 August – April 2020 index, 2 September - May 2020 index, 16 September - June 2020 index, 7 October - July 2020 index, 21 October - August 2020 index.
