Methodology
Rankings use sold price statistics derived from 31+ million HM Land Registry Price Paid Data records. The sample thresholds require enough completed sales to make a ranked table useful, and outlier checks compare averages with medians, transaction counts and latest record dates. Use median prices and transaction counts to sense-check unusually high or low averages, including the lowest median and strongest 5-year growth signals. Source: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, with 31+ million records updated July 2026 and records through May 2026. These are historical sold-price summaries, not a valuation, forecast or investment recommendation.
