81.6, latest June 2026.
The index stood at 81.6 in June 2026. That is 20.4% lower than a year earlier. The series peaked at 117.0 in January 2022; the latest figure is 30.3% below that peak. Its low point was 8.7 in April 1995; the latest reading is 838% above that.
This is a price INDEX, not an average price. A value of 165 means prices are 65% above the index's base period, January 2023 (its most recent rebasing), set to 100, not that a typical home costs £165. Ranked by index value, which reflects relative price change since the base period, not which area has cheaper or more expensive homes.
What these terms mean
- House Price Index
- A measure of how much house prices have changed, not of what a house costs. The base period is set to 100; a value of 110 means prices are 10% above that base. Two areas' index values can be compared as changes, never as prices. Source
- Base period
- The reference point the index is measured against, set to 100. Movements are read relative to that base, so two areas' index values are comparable as CHANGES over time but not as prices.
- Local authority district
- The council area a statistic is published for -- 361 across the UK. In England these are boroughs, districts and unitary authorities; in Scotland, council areas; in Wales, principal areas; in Northern Ireland, districts.
Before you use these figures
- Unusually high in January 2022: This area's January 2022 figure is unusually high compared with what other areas reported for January 2022 — 117 against a typical figure (median) of about 93 across 359 other areas that period. No longer this dataset's latest period, so a look at just today's headline figure would not have caught it -- flagged here from a check across the dataset's full history. Worth checking against the source before treating it as a straightforward trend.
- Latest figure June 2026: This series is monthly; the most recent published figure is June 2026, 3 months before September 2026. That may reflect the publisher's release schedule rather than missing data.
