Sources and method

Updated 18 October 2026

Every number on this site comes from official open data. Nothing is taken from property portal listings. Each place page says which source sits behind each answer.

Sold prices: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data

Every residential sale in England and Wales registered with HM Land Registry, with its price, date, property type and whether it was a new build. We use standard open-market sales only, which leaves out transfers such as right-to-buy sales, repossessions and transfers between companies. Sales can take two months or more to be registered, and new builds often longer, so the latest month shown is the latest month Land Registry has published.

Price trend: UK House Price Index

The official monthly index from HM Land Registry and the Office for National Statistics. It adjusts for the mix of homes sold, so it is the steadier guide to whether prices in a district are rising or falling. We use the figure for the local authority district each place sits in.

Which postcodes count as which place

Each place is its civil parish. We list every live postcode in the parish using the Office for National Statistics postcode directory (through postcodes.io), then gather the sales recorded at those postcodes.

Flood zones: Environment Agency

The Flood Map for Planning shows the chance of flooding from rivers and the sea, ignoring defences. Zone 3 is the highest probability (1% or more a year from rivers, 0.5% or more from the sea); zone 2 is medium. We report the share of a place's postcodes whose centre point falls in each zone. It does not cover surface water, and a postcode figure cannot tell you about a single house: use GOV.UK's long-term flood risk service for that.

How well-off an area is: English Indices of Deprivation 2025

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government scores every small neighbourhood in England (about 33,755 of them, roughly 1,600 people each) on income, employment, health, education, crime, housing and living environment, ranks them, and splits them into ten bands. Decile 10 is the least deprived tenth of England; decile 1 the most deprived.

New building and planning

Notes about new developments come from council local plans and planning documents, and from developers' own published pages, each linked where it is used with the date it was checked.

How the numbers are worked out

Median sold price: the middle price of the sales in the period, so a single very expensive or very cheap sale cannot drag it far. Shown to the nearest £1,000.
Change: the median of the latest 12 months against the 12 months before. In a village with a few dozen sales a year this moves with the mix of homes that happen to sell, so we always show the district house price index alongside it.
Prices by type: three years of sales, so each type has enough sales to mean something.
Updates: figures are rebuilt each month when Land Registry publishes new data. Every page shows the date it was updated and the last month of sales it includes.
