What was announced

HM Land Registry’s July release reported annual UK house-price growth of 1.4% and an average value of £273,000. Prices increased 0.7% between June and July on a non-seasonally adjusted basis.[1]

The report said the index was based on completed housing transactions and cautioned against placing too much weight on a single month. These figures record the estimates published on 16 September, rather than a later revision of July’s results.[1]

Context & interpretation

Why it matters

Archive releases preserve what was reported at the time. A later bulletin may revise the same month, so comparisons should identify both the reference period and the release used.
