2. Economic statement

England house prices grew by 7.6% in the year to November 2020, up from 5.9% in October 2020. England house prices were growing at a similar rate to the UK rate of 7.6% in the year to November 2020. Yorkshire and The Humber and London were the joint fastest growing regions with annual growth of 9.7% in the year to November 2020. The lowest annual growth was in the East of England, where prices increased by 4.8% over the year to November 2020.

On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in England increased by 1.2% between October and November 2020, compared with a fall of 0.4% during the same period a year earlier (October and November 2019). On a seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in England increased by 1.5% between October and November 2020.

Comparing the provisional volume estimate for September 2019 with the provisional estimate for September 2020, volume transactions decreased by 13.3% in England. UK volume transactions decreased by 11.4% over the same period.

UK Property Transaction Statistics published by HM Revenue & Customs (which differ in coverage but are more complete for this period) report that on a non-seasonally adjusted basis, volume transactions decreased by 1.6% in England in the year to September 2020.

Across England, detached houses showed the biggest increase out of all property types, growing by 8.6% in the year to November 2020 to £410,000. The lowest annual change was in flats and maisonettes which increased by 5.1% in the year to November 2020 to £234,000.

As with other indicators in the housing market, which typically fluctuate from month to month, it is important not to put too much weight on one month’s set of house price data.

3. Price change

3.1 Annual price change

Annual price change for England and London over the past 5 years

Average house prices in England increased by 7.6% in the year to November 2020, up from 5.9% in October 2020.

In London, average house prices increased by 9.7% in the year to November 2020, up from 4.6% in October 2020.

Annual price change by local authority for England

Low numbers of sales transactions in some local authorities and London boroughs, such as City of London, can lead to volatility in the series. While we make efforts to account for this volatility, the change in price in these local levels can be influenced by the type and number of properties sold in any given period. Geographies with low number of sales transactions should be analysed in the context of their longer-term trends rather than focusing on monthly movements.

4. Sales volumes

The amount of time between the sale of a property and the registration of this information varies. It typically ranges between 2 weeks and 2 months but can be longer. Volume figures for the most recent 2 months are not yet at a reliable level for reporting, so they are not included in the report. Published transactions for recent months will increase as later registered transactions are incorporated into the index.

Sales volume data is also available by property status (new build and existing property) and funding status (cash and mortgage) in our downloadable data tables. Transactions involving the creation of a new register, such as new builds, are more complex and require more time to process. Read Revisions to the UK HPI data for more information.

5. Property status

Transactions involving the creation of a new register, such as new builds, are more complex and need more time to process. This means they can take longer to appear in the land registers. The volume of new build transactions for the most recent 2 months are not at a reliable level for reporting the breakdown between new build and existing resold property, so they are not included in the report.
