The UK HPI is based on completed housing transactions. Typically, a house purchase can take 6 to 8 weeks to reach completion. As with other indicators in the housing market, which typically fluctuate from month to month, it is important not to put too much weight on one month's set of house price data.
Background
- We publish the UK House Price Index (HPI) on the second or third Wednesday of each month with Northern Ireland figures updated quarterly. We will publish the October 2025 UK HPI at 9:30am on Wednesday 17 December 2025. See the calendar of release dates .
- We have made some changes to improve the accuracy of the UK HPI. We are not publishing average price and percentage change for new builds and existing resold property as done previously because there are not currently enough new build transactions to provide a reliable result. This means that in this month's UK HPI reports, new builds and existing resold property are reported in line with the sales volumes currently available.
- The UK HPI revision period has been extended to 13 months, following a review of the revision policy ( see calculating the UK HPI section 4.4 ). This ensures the data used is more comprehensive.
- Sales volume data is available by property status (new build and existing property) and funding status (cash and mortgage) in our downloadable data tables . Transactions that require us to create a new register, such as new builds, are more complex and require more time to process. Read revisions to the UK HPI data .
- Revision tables are available for England and Wales within the downloadable data in CSV format. See About the UK House Price Index f
