How it is made
Open Index shows the figures as HM Land Registry and partners publishes them, for the areas they were published for: the UK, nations, regions and councils.
Larger areas use the publisher’s own figures, never an average of smaller areas.
Zoom in past council level and the map keeps the council shapes and says so, rather than inventing detail.

Before you use it
- This compares the average price with the same month a year earlier, as published (the Annual_Change column).
- Council figures are 3-month moving averages, so a sharp move shows up over several months.
- Small councils with few sales, such as the City of London, Orkney, Shetland and Na h-Eileanan Siar, move around a lot from month to month.
Colours on the map
Fixed breaks, held for every period, so colours mean the same over time.
