UK Housing Sales from Land Registry, Excluding Non-Market Transactions

Land Registry data on the number of properties sold in the UK, with exclusions for non-market price sales, transactions below £1,000, and those above £20 million. The dataset is provided by the Greater London Authority and was last updated on 2026-06-24. It originates from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Statistics for Small Areas.

Use Cases

• Analyzing regional housing market activity based on property sales counts.
• Modeling market transaction volumes while excluding non-market price sales like Right to Buy.
• Investigating the distribution of property sales within the £1,000 to £20 million price bracket.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from the authoritative UK Land Registry.
• Explicitly excludes non-market transactions and extreme price outliers below £1,000 and above £20 million, which likely improves data consistency for market analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is 2026-06-24 21:09:58.412269.
