England property research
What the price register can actually answer, one question at a time. Built on HM Land Registry sold prices for 891 English towns.
House valuation from sold prices: comparing homes in Alton, Southsea and Prescot
Start with the property's type and tenure. A town median can combine homes with very different prices, sizes and lease terms.
What the median English home costs to mortgage now, and how much of a salary that takes
Monthly repayment on every town's median at 75% and 90% LTV, on Bank of England rates for 2021, 2023 and now, as a share of regional pay.
Are house prices falling? English town sale prices in 2026 so far
Half-year medians against last year's for every English town with enough registered sales: the share down, flat and up, the biggest movers, and why the comparison overstates any fall.
The £300,000 line: where a first-time buyer in England still pays no stamp duty
First-time buyer relief laid over 891 town medians: how many towns sit under the nil-rate line, how many are past the cap, and the bill at the median from HMRC's bands.
The cheapest places to buy a house in England, from registered sales
The lowest-median towns from the price the buyer actually paid, the cheapest town for each property type, and why a cheap median is not a cheap house.
Second-home stamp duty: the same house costs 42% more in Scotland
England, Scotland and Wales tax an additional property three structurally different ways. The full bill at six prices, and why Scotland is the outlier at every one.
Leasehold vs freehold: what registered sales show
The tenure gap measured inside one town at a time: freehold flat premiums, leasehold house discounts, and what the register cannot price.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: what each type is and what it sells for
The four types the register records, defined plainly and priced across 762 towns. The order holds almost everywhere; the multiple runs from parity to seven times.
