📅 Data Freshness

Price Paid data is typically updated within 6–8 weeks of a transaction completing — very recent sales (last 2–3 months) may not yet appear. EPC data is updated quarterly. Crime data has a 2–3 month lag.

⚠️ Limitations

  • Scotland transaction-level data is not publicly available — only council-area averages are shown
  • Northern Ireland is not included
  • Some transactions are excluded by HMLR (e.g. repossessions at below-market prices)
  • New-build prices may include incentives not reflected in the headline sale price
  • EPC coverage is not 100% — older properties may not have a certificate
  • Crime and flood data cover England only unless otherwise stated
