2. Economic statement

Average house prices in England increased by 0.4% in the 12 months to August 2026, to £294,000 (provisional estimate). This was down from a rise of 0.9% (revised estimate) in the 12 months to July 2026 and below the average UK house price annual inflation of 0.9% (provisional estimate) in the 12 months to August 2026.

The North East had the highest growth of all English regions, where the average house price increased by 3.2% in the 12 months to August 2026. This was down from 4.7% in the 12 months to July 2026.2026.

The lowest annual percentage change was in London, where prices decreased by 2.2% in the 12 months to August 2026, up from an annual fall of 3.2% in the 12 months to July 2026. The average price in London is now £15,000 below the recent peak in July 2025 (£569,000), but £8,000 higher than the recent low in March 2026 (£546,000).

On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in England increased by 0.2% between July 2026 and August 2026, which is lower than an increase of 0.7% in the same period 12 months ago. On a seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in England decreased by 0.4% between July 2026 and August 2026.

In England, semi-detached houses showed the highest annual percentage change out of all property types, increasing by 1.7% in the 12 months to August 2026 to £292,000. Flats and maisonettes showed the lowest annual percentage change, decreasing by 2.9% in the 12 months to July 2026 to £219,000.

In London, the average price of flats decreased by 5.0% in the 12 months to August 2026. In contrast, average prices for London houses increased over the same period. Since flats account for half of all property sales in London compared with around one-fifth across Great Britain, falling London flat prices drove the annual decrease in London overall of 2.2% in the 12 months to August 2026.

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.

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.

Note: data for City of London for the months of July and August 2021 have been suppressed due to unusually low transaction numbers and the resulting impact on the quality of data.

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.
