The datasets behind this site
This catalogue separates public evidence from privately held inputs. It names each source, publication state and licence decision; technical access or R2 possession is never treated as publication permission.
Residential sold prices, England and Wales, 1995 to date
Every residential property sale lodged for registration with HM Land Registry since January 1995 — 31,324,023 transactions — indexed by postcode district, town and street. Bulk and portfolio transfers, where the whole consideration is repeated against every title, are detected and excluded from all averages.

Licences
| Dataset | Publisher | Licence | Commercial | Derivatives |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price paid — 31.3M sales Attribution statement required. The ADDRESS fields (postcode, PAON, SAON, street, locality, town, district, county) are Ordnance Survey AddressBase / Royal Mail PAF data — OGL explicitly does not cover those third-party rights. Royal Mail and OS permit their commercial use only "to display for the purpose of providing residential property price information services", which is what this site does. | HM Land Registry | OGL v3.0 | ⚠ | ✔ |
| UK House Price Index Attribution required. | HM Land Registry & ONS | OGL v3.0 | ✔ | ✔ |
| Planning applications — 1.28M No licence is stated on the Planning London Datahub, on its London Datastore entry, or in the API response. The data is served openly with a published guest key, but open access is not the same as a licence grant. Treated as unknown until the GLA states terms. | Greater London Authority | Unknown | ? | ? |
| Planning applications — 350k Each council publishes on its own terms; most cite OGL v3 but not all state one. Per-dataset terms are on the publishing council's own page. | 56 local authorities | Varies | ~ | ~ |
| Statutory protections — 520k Confirmed in each dataset's own metadata. Underlying designations originate with Historic England and local authorities; the platform publishes them under OGL. | MHCLG (planning.data.gov.uk) | OGL v3.0 | ✔ | ✔ |
| Postcode centroids — 1.57M Attribution required. Northern Irish postcodes are excluded by the publisher as they carry a more restrictive licence. | GetTheData, from the ONS Postcode Directory | OGL v3.0 + OS OpenData | ✔ | ✔ |
| Estate agent branches — 6,271 ODbL is SHARE-ALIKE: a derived database must itself be offered under ODbL. The held discovery layer is not published on the live site. | OpenStreetMap contributors | ODbL 1.0 | ✔ | ⚠ |
| Company records Officers' dates of birth and residential addresses are returned by the API and are deliberately not published here. | Companies House | OGL v3.0 | ✔ | ✔ |
| CCOD / OCOD ownership NOT OGL. Free but behind a registered account and API key, with its own terms on republication. Not currently used — no key — so no obligation has been taken on. | HM Land Registry | Own terms, account required | ? | ? |
| Agent listings — 2,788 No publication or collection grant is recorded. Collection is paused and listing records are not published on the live site. | Individual estate agents | Not open data | ✘ | ✘ |
✔ permitted · ⚠ permitted with conditions · ? not stated by the publisher · ~ varies. Verified against each publisher's own terms, 22 August 2026. Where a publisher states nothing, this says Unknown rather than assuming.
Why there is no bulk download here
This site does not publish its own copies for bulk download, and rate-limits automated access to its pages. That is not an attempt to enclose open data — every dataset above links to the publisher's own file, which is the canonical copy and always more current than a mirror. What took work here is the joining and the cleaning, not the collecting.
