Land Registry releases its historic price paid data
As of recently, 28 November 2013, all Land Registry’s historic price paid data of over 18 million sales is available to download for free as part of its open data programme, bringing even greater transparency to the UK residential property market.
Giving access to a dataset going back to 1995, containing in excess of 400 million data items, developers and businesses can now use one of the world’s largest property datasets of residential sales in England and Wales for commercial and non commercial purposes. It is also used to calculate Land Registry’s popular House Price Index.
The data being released recently includes records of sales at full market value lodged for registration since January 1995. Collectively this represents almost 18 years worth of valuable information on the country’s housing market. Since the first tranche of data was released in June this year, more than 114,000 files have been downloaded.
