The UK HPI is based on completed housing transactions. Typically, a house purchase can take 6 to 8 weeks to reach completion. The price data feeding into the September 2020 UK HPI will mainly reflect those agreements that occurred after the government measures to reduce the spread of Covid-19 took hold.

UK house prices increased by 4.7% in the year to September 2020, up from 3.0% in August 2020. On a non-seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices in the UK increased by 1.7% between August 2020 and September 2020, compared with a rise of 0.1% during the same period a year earlier (August 2019 and September 2019).

The UK Property Transactions Statistics showed that in September 2020, on a seasonally adjusted basis, the estimated number of transactions of residential properties with a value of £40,000 or greater was 98,010. This is 0.7% lower than a year ago. Between August 2020 and September 2020, UK transactions increased by 21.3% on a seasonally adjusted basis.

House price growth was strongest in England where prices increased by 4.9% in the year to September 2020. The highest annual growth within the English regions was in the South West where average house prices grew by 6.4%. The lowest annual growth was in the North East, where prices increased by 3.3% in the year to September 2020.
