Local housing data are based on a smaller number of properties than our national estimates. This means that short-term trends are more variable. We advise looking at trends over a year or longer.

We regularly revise our house prices estimates. UK-level rent estimates for the latest two months, and all house price data, are provisional and subject to revision.

Figures in this article are not seasonally adjusted.
