House Price Trend Data
Understanding current housing market trends, forecasts, and predictions can help you understand how housing prices move if you own property in the UK or are considering purchasing a home.
Some bank predictions suggest the housing market bubble has burst and that the property market is generally on a downward trend.
Nationwide and Halifax House Price Indexes
Both the Nationwide Building Society and the Halifax publish house price data monthly, showing the average price of homes across the country by region. They base the results on the lending data for approved mortgages at the approval stage. The data for both are generally derived using the same calculations, though there are slight variations in how they calculate the final results.
Both lending instituions provide historic trend data with commentary on the results and future forecasts. You can explore further on their websites which are free to use. Navigate to both by visiting the Nationwide house price index online data or the Halifax house price index which is now part of the Lloyds Banking Group. The Land Registry also publishes its own house price index, with a different methodology.
