Next publication of UK HPI

The October 2025 UK HPI will be published at 9.30am on Wednesday 17 December 2025. See the calendar of release dates for more information.

In September 2024’s release, UK House Price Index (UK HPI) estimates were revised from January 2022 onwards by making use of price data processed outside the UK HPI’s normal 12-month revision period. In October 2024’s release, UK HPI returned to the usual 12-month revision period. Users should be aware that revisions may be larger than usual and should note the significantly greater uncertainty around new build prices.

Previously, UK HPI had a reference period of January 2015. In February 2025’s release, UK HPI’s reference period was updated to January 2023, so UK HPI indices now report January 2023 equals 100. Re-referencing ensures the UK HPI reflects the price of the “average” property currently being sold and shifts the entire price level series for each geography and breakdown by a constant percentage without affecting inflation rates. Read more in the Office for National Statistics’ Keeping average house prices up to date blog and in the 19 February 2025 UK HPI release.

On 20 September  2025, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) introduced an improvement to HPI’s imputation method for Great Britain, which reduces initial over-estimation of new build estimates in provisional estimates. Since this methods improvement increases the accuracy of our initial estimates, we expect overall revisions between provisional (1st) and final revised (13th) UK HPI estimates to be smaller moving forwards. More detail about this methods improvement is available in section 4.9 of HM Land Registry’s About the UK House Price Index document.

ONS will continue to monitor revisions and identify potential further methods improvements in the future.

2. Economic statement

Average UK house price annual inflation was 2.6% (provisional estimate) in the 12 months to September 2025, down from the revised estimate of 3.1% in the 12 months to August 2025.

The average UK house price was £272,000 in September 2025 (provisional estimate), which is £7,000 higher than 12 months ago. Average house prices in the 12 months to September 2025 increased in England to £293,000 (2.0%), increased in Wales to £209,000 (2.7%) and increased in Scotland to £194,000 (5.3%). The average house price increased in the year to Q3 (Jul to Sep) 2025 to £193,000 in Northern Ireland (7.1%).

On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, average UK house prices decreased by 0.6% between August 2025 and September 2025, compared with a decrease of 0.1% in the same period 12 months ago. On a seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in the UK decreased by 0.2% between August 2025 and September 2025.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ (RICS’) September 2025 UK Residential Market Survey reported that new buyer enquiries were in the negative territory for the third successive report. Also, most parts of the UK are now seeing a decline in new buyer demand.

HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC’s) UK Property Transactions Statistics showed that in September 2025, on a seasonally adjusted basis, the estimated number of transactions of residential properties with a value of £40,000 or greater was 96,000. This is 3.7% higher than 12 months ago (September 2024). Between August 2025 and September 2025, UK transactions increased by 1.1% on a seasonally adjusted basis. On a non-seasonal basis between August 2025 and September 2025, HMRC reported that transactions volumes decreased by 1.3% in England, decreased by 12.7% in Scotland, decreased by 1.9% in Wales and by 0.0% in Northern Ireland.

The Bank of England’s Money and Credit September 2025 release reported that mortgage approvals for house purchases, an indicator of future borrowing, increased by 1,000 to 65,900 in September.

The Bank of England’s Agents’ summary of business conditions - 2025 Q3 reported a subdued housing market, in which demand has weakened, and supply improved in part due to landlords exiting the rental market.

4. Sales volumes

The UK HPI data volumes reflect the number of sales that have been registered so far for a given month and do not reflect the total number of sales that occurred in that month. It takes time for sales that have occurred to be registered and processed for inclusion in the UK HPI data volumes. Therefore, UK HPI data volumes for the most recent 12 months of data are provisional and are subject to revision, in line with the UK HPI revision period policy. Users should not use provisional UK HPI data volumes to infer trends in sales activity. 

In 2024, HM Land Registry successfully returned to processing over 40% of HM Revenue & Customs’ provisional sales estimate for UK HPI’s first estimate (the target specified in the UK HPI Quality and Methodology guidance). UK HPI sales volume estimates for older periods and new builds remain lower than historical averages but continue to improve. Users should be aware that revisions may be larger than historically and should note the greater uncertainty around new build prices.

ONS introduced an improvement to HPI’s imputation method from August 2025, more detail is available in section 4.9 of HM Land Registry’s About the UK House Price Index document. ONS will continue to monitor revisions and identify potential further methods improvements in the future.

4.1 Sales volumes

Number of sales volumes by country

Provisional UK HPI estimates for September 2025 are based on approximately 37,800 records for England, 7,500 for Scotland, and 2,200 for Wales. This represents 47% of HMRC’s provisional sales estimate for September 2025, as detailed in their Monthly property transactions completed in the UK with value of £40,000 or above estimates. Over time, more records will become available for recent periods, which will be used to revise UK HPI estimates and sales volumes, in line with the revision policy published by the ONS and HM Land Registry.

Sales estimates from UK HPI differ from estimates from HMRC because of different data sources, revision period size and coverage. HMRC’s Quality report states there are likely to be inaccuracies in their data because of reporting or keying errors, such as misclassification between residential and non-residential transactions. However, HMRC take steps to reduce this measurement error. Another reason for differences could be that residential property transactions, where the buyer or seller is a corporate body, company or business, are excluded from UK HPI data, but included in HMRC data.

Further information on data sources, revision policy, methods and quality is available in HM Land Registry’s UK HPI guidance.

9. About the UK House Price Index

The UK House Price Index (UK HPI) is calculated by the Office for National Statistics and Land & Property Services Northern Ireland. Find out about the methodology used to create the UK HPI.

Data for the UK House Price Index is provided by HM Land Registry, Registers of Scotland, The Land & Property Services/Northern Ireland Statistics & Research Agency and the Valuation Office Agency.

Find out more about the UK House Price Index.

A key determinant of house prices is the demographic characteristics of the area in which the property is located. The UK HPI uses the socio-demographic classification, known as Acorn, in the hedonic regression model to measure the affluence of the area.

Prior to 20 December 2023’s publication, property transactions in Great Britain were excluded from the regression model if their Acorn classification was missing. From 20 December 2023’s publication, these properties are included in the regression model from January 2023’s data onwards, but are given less weight in the calculations, as described above. This methodology improvement aligns how transactions with missing Acorn classification are used in the Great Britain model and Northern Ireland model, increasing coherence across the UK and improving the quality of UK HPI statistics.
