History
Prices and rents over time
Dashed lines are provisional months: Land Registry is still adding late sales, so they can move a little.
Growth a year
| Over | Prices | Rents |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 0.0% | +0.1% |
| 3 years | −0.8% | +4.2% |
| 5 years | +2.1% | +3.6% |
| 10 years | +2.0% | – |
3, 5 and 10 years are the steady rate a year over that time, so they compare with 1 year. Each compares 12-month averages, which keeps one unusual month out.
Momentum and risk
Volatility is how much the yearly change has swung over five years, in percentage points: lower is steadier. Sales are those recorded so far; the newest months are still filling in.

This is history, not a forecast. When we checked, how far an area fell in 2008-09 didn't predict how far it fell in 2022-24 compared with its neighbours, but regions followed much the same pattern both times. Falls use the 3-month average price, from the national peak to the national low point.
