Economic statement

Total transaction volumes and new build volumes available to calculate UK HPI estimates have increased recently.

Users should be aware that revisions may be larger than historically and should note the greater uncertainty around new build prices. Further information is available in HM Land Registry’s UK House Price Index summary.
