Sold house prices by postcode and address

HM Land Registry Price Paid Data·England & Wales

Address Lens keeps matched Price Paid records available for the address — including the price paid, completion date, tenure and property type — alongside the property's EPC, flood, planning and area evidence, so one search answers "what did it sell for?" and "what's changed since?" together.

What the sold price history shows

  • Matched Price Paid records available for the address — price, month and year of completion.
  • Tenure — whether the sale was freehold or leasehold.
  • Property type — detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat.
  • Street context — how the sale sits against other sales on the same street and postcode.

How to check sold prices for an address

  1. Search a postcode, a full address including its postcode, or a UPRN.
  2. Open the property's report to see its matched price paid history in context.
  3. Compare against nearby sold properties before you rely on any single figure.
Timing and coverage: Land Registry releases price paid data monthly, so a recent completion can take several weeks to appear. Scotland and Northern Ireland are published separately and are not covered. Some transactions — such as right-to-buy sales and transfers not at full market value — are excluded from the standard dataset.

How far back sold house prices go

HM Land Registry Price Paid Data records completed, registered residential sales in England and Wales going back to 1995, published as open data under the Open Government Licence. That makes a property's recorded history free to check — the differences between tools are in matching quality and context, not access to the raw record.

Why a raw street average can mislead

Since October 2013 the dataset separates standard market sales (category A) from additional transactions such as repossessions and company purchases (category B), whose prices can sit well away from open-market value. Averaging every row together blurs the two. See our guide to how Price Paid Data works for the detail.

Frequently asked questions

How often are sold house prices updated?

HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly. If a sale you expect is missing, our guide to why a sold price isn't on Land Registry covers the release and registration detail.

Why is a recent sale not showing yet?

Only completed, registered transfers appear. Between completion, registration and the monthly release, a genuine sale can lag the register by weeks or months — and some transfer types are excluded from the standard dataset entirely.

Are sold house prices free to look up?

Yes. Price Paid Data is open data under the Open Government Licence, so checking what a property sold for is free.

Sold price ≠ value today

A historic sale tells you what a buyer paid then, not what the property is worth now. Condition, improvements, tenure changes and the wider market all move the number. Treat the history as evidence for a conversation — with an agent, surveyor or lender — rather than a valuation.
