2. Economic statement

England house prices grew by 3.0% in the year to July 2018, up slightly from 2.9% in the year to June 2018. England house prices are growing slightly slower than the UK annual rate of 3.1% in the year to July 2018. The North West was the fastest growing region with an annual growth rate of 5.6%, up from 3.2% in the previous month. London was the slowest growing region, falling by 0.7% in the year to July 2018, down from 0.3% in the previous month.

The Bank of England August Inflation report notes several factors contributing to the slowing growth in London house prices. It states that London was likely to have been disproportionately affected by; regulatory and tax changes since 2014, the slowing in the buy to let market, a fall in European Union (EU) net migration since the EU referendum and wider Brexit uncertainty.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in England increased by 0.4% between June 2018 and July 2018, compared with an increase of 0.4% during the same period a year earlier (June 2017 and July 2017).

The UK Property Transaction Statistics for July 2018 showed that on a non-seasonally adjusted basis, in the 3 months to July 2018, the number of transactions on residential properties with a value of £40,000 or greater in England was 265,780. This is down 1.7% compared to the 3 months to July 2017.

Across England, all property types showed an increase in average price in July 2018 when compared with the same month in the previous year. Detached houses showed the biggest increase, rising by 4.7% in the year to July 2018 to £378,000. The average price of flats and maisonettes showed an increase of 0.1% in the year to July to £231,000. Weaker growth in England flats and maisonettes was driven by negative growth in London for this property type. London accounts for around 30% of England flats and maisonette transactions.

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

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.
