On a seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in England decreased by 0.2% between November and December 2022.

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, the volume of transactions increased by 36.8% in England in the 12 months to October 2022.

In England, semi-detached houses showed the largest annual percentage change out of all property types, increasing by 11.5% in the 12 months to December 2022 to £303,000. Flats and maisonettes showed the lowest annual percentage change, which increased by 7.8% in the 12 months to December 2022 to £257,000.

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.

3.1 Annual price change

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

Average house prices in England increased by 10.3% in the 12 months to December 2022, down from 11.1% in November 2022.

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.

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.
