2. Economic statement

Average house prices in England decreased by 1.5% in the 12 months to January 2024 (provisional estimate). This was up from a decrease of 3.0% (revised estimate) in the 12 months to December 2023 and lower than the average UK house price annual inflation of negative 0.6% (provisional estimate) in the 12 months to January 2024.

North West had the highest growth, where the annual percentage change increased by 1.0% in the 12 months to January 2024. The lowest annual percentage change was London, where prices decreased by 3.9% in the 12 months to January 2024.

On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in England increased by 0.4% between December 2023 and January 2024, compared with a decrease of 1.1% during the same period 12 months ago. On a seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in England increased by 0.8% between December 2023 and January 2024.

Comparing the provisional UK HPI volume estimate for November 2022 with the provisional UK HPI volume estimate for November 2023, the volume of transactions decreased by 40.9% in England and by 36.1% in the UK.

UK Property Transaction Statistics published by HM Revenue & Customs (which differ in coverage but are more complete for this period), report that on a non-seasonally adjusted basis, November 2023’s provisional transaction volume estimate for England was 22.9% lower than November 2022’s revised volume estimate.

In England, detached houses showed the highest annual percentage change out of all property types, decreasing by 0.6% in the 12 months to January 2024 to £463,000. Flats and maisonettes showed the lowest annual percentage change, which decreased by 2.9% in the 12 months to January 2024 to £248,000.

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.

3.1 Annual price change

Annual price change for England and London over the past 5 years

Average house prices in England decreased by 1.5% in the 12 months to January 2024 (provisional estimate), up from a decrease of 3.0% in the 12 months to December 2023 (revised estimate).

In London, average house prices decreased by 3.9% in the 12 months to January 2024, up from a decrease of 5.5% in the 12 months to December 2023.

Annual price change by local authority for England

Low numbers of sales transactions in some local authorities and London boroughs, such as City of London, can lead to volatility in the series. While we make efforts to account for this volatility, the change in price in these local levels can be influenced by the type and number of properties sold in any given period. Geographies with low number of sales transactions should be analysed in the context of their longer-term trends rather than focusing on monthly movements.

Note: data for City of London for the months of July and August 2021 have been suppressed due to unusually low transaction numbers and the resulting impact on the quality of data.

4. Sales volumes

The amount of time between the sale of a property and the registration of this information varies. It typically ranges between 2 weeks and 2 months but can be longer. Volume figures for the most recent 2 months are not yet at a reliable level for reporting, so they are not included in the report. Published transactions for recent months will increase as later registered transactions are incorporated into the index.

Sales volume data is also available by property status (new build and existing property) and funding status (cash and mortgage) in our downloadable data tables. Transactions involving the creation of a new register, such as new builds, are more complex and require more time to process. Read Revisions to the UK HPI data for more information.
