2. Economic statement

England house prices grew by 16.4% in the year to July 2022, up from 7.3% in June 2022. England house prices were growing faster than the UK annual rate of 15.5% in the year to July 2022. The South West was the fastest growing region with annual growth of 20.7% in the year to July 2022. The lowest annual growth was in London, where prices increased by 9.2% over the year to July 2022.

On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in England increased by 2.2% between June and July 2022, compared with a decrease of 5.8% during the same period a year earlier (June and July 2021). On a seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in England increased by 1.3% between June and July 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 decreased by 3.3% in England in the year to May 2022.

Across England, detached houses showed the largest increase out of all property types, growing by 18.3% in the year to July 2022 to £488,000. The lowest annual change was in flats and maisonettes which increased by 9.6% in the year to July 2022 to £254,000.

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 16.4% in the year to July 2022, up from 7.3% in June 2022.

In London, average house prices increased by 9.2% in the year to July 2022, up from 6.3% in June 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.

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.
