HM Land Registry, April 2026

How to check house prices

Every residential property sale in England and Wales is recorded by HM Land Registry. This Price Paid Data goes back to January 1995 and is updated monthly with a slight delay (typically 4-6 weeks after completion).

HouseCheckup makes this data searchable for free. Simply enter an address or postcode to see the full sold price history, including sale price, date, property type (detached, semi, terraced, flat), and tenure (freehold or leasehold).

For current valuations, our Automated Valuation Model (AVM) analyses comparable sales, price per square metre from EPC data, and local market trends to estimate what a property is worth today. The full report includes a confidence range and 30-year price forecast under base, bull, and bear scenarios.

What affects house prices

Eight key factors that drive property values — each one covered in a HouseCheckup report.

Location

Proximity to city centres, transport links, and amenities remains the single biggest driver of house prices.

Schools

Properties near Outstanding-rated schools typically command a 5-10% premium. Check Ofsted ratings for any address.

Transport

Walking distance to a railway station or Tube stop significantly affects property values, especially in commuter areas.

Crime

Lower crime areas correlate with higher property values. Street-level crime data can reveal hidden risks.

Flood Risk

Properties in Flood Zone 3 can lose 10-15% of their value. Flood risk also affects insurance premiums and mortgage availability.

EPC Rating

As energy costs rise and minimum EPC requirements tighten, Band D or below properties face increasing price pressure.

Planning

Nearby development — positive or negative — can significantly impact value. New infrastructure often lifts prices.

Supply & Demand

Local housing stock, new build rates, and population growth all influence the balance of supply and demand.

HouseCheckup uses HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which records every residential property sale in England and Wales. This is official government data updated monthly. Our AVM also factors in EPC floor area data, local market trends, and comparable sales to generate current valuations.
Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) are typically accurate to within 5-10% for standard properties in areas with frequent sales. They are less reliable for unusual properties, new builds, or areas with few comparable sales. HouseCheckup provides a confidence range with every valuation so you can assess the reliability of the estimate.
