Sales take weeks to months to reach the register, so the latest months are incomplete. A median by type mixes every size and condition of home, so treat it as the middle of the market rather than a value for any one property.
Source: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Open Government Licence): standard-price sales with completion dates August 2025 to July 2026, from the files published up to 19 Sep 2026. Repossessions and non-market transfers (category B) are excluded.
