The October 2017 UK HPI will be published at 9.30am on 12 December 2017. See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/about-the-uk-house-price-index\/about-the-uk-house-price-index#uk-house-price-index-release-dates\">calendar of release dates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>From next month, we are making some changes to improve the accuracy of the UK HPI. We will not be publishing average price and percentage change for new build and existing resold property, as we do now, because there are not currently enough new build transactions to provide a reliable result. This means that when we publish the October UK HPI in December, the earliest new build\/existing resold property breakdown will be for August 2017, in line with the sales volumes currently available.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The UK HPI revision period has been extended to 13 months, following a review of the revision policy (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/about-the-uk-house-price-index\/about-the-uk-house-price-index#calculating-the-uk-hpi\">calculating the UK HPI<\/a> section 4.4). This ensures the data used is more comprehensive.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Sales volume data is also available by property status (new build and existing property) and funding status (cash and mortgage) in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/statistical-data-sets\/uk-house-price-index-data-downloads-august-2017\">downloadable data tables<\/a>.

The number of property transactions in the UK is highly seasonal, with more activity in the summer months and less in the winter. This regular annual pattern can sometimes mask the underlying movements and trends in the data series so HMRC also presents the UK aggregate transaction figures on a seasonally adjusted basis. Adjustments are made for both the time of year and the construction of the calendar, including corrections for the position of Easter and the number of trading days in a particular month.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>UK HPI seasonally adjusted series are calculated at regional and national levels only.

A three-month moving average has been applied to the latest estimate to remove some of this volatility.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Work has been taking place since 2014 to develop a single, official HPI that reflects the final transaction price for sales of residential property in the UK. Using the geometric mean, it covers purchases at market value for owner-occupation and buy-to-let, excluding those purchases not at market value (such as re-mortgages), where the \u2018price\u2019 represents a valuation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Information on residential property transactions for England and Wales, collected as part of the official registration process, is provided by HM Land Registry for properties that are sold for full market value.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The HM Land Registry dataset contains the sale price of the property, the date when the sale was completed, full address details, the type of property (detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat), if it is a newly built property or an established residential building and a variable to indicate if the property has been purchased as a financed transaction (using a mortgage) or as a non-financed transaction (cash purchase).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Repossession data is based on the number of transactions lodged with HM Land Registry by lenders exercising their power of sale.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>For England, this is shown as volumes of repossessions recorded by Government Office Region. For Wales, there is a headline figure for the number of repossessions recorded in Wales.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The data can be downloaded as a .csv file. Repossession data prior to April 2016 is not available.

They are available for free use and re-use under the Open Government Licence.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>HM Land Registry\u2019s mission is to guarantee and protect property rights in England and Wales.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>HM Land Registry is a government department created in 1862.
