Interpretation boundary
What the profile measures—and what it does not
Mix-adjusted local price indices. Registered-sale counts show provisional source records and must not be read as final market activity.
A modelled stock measure covering new and existing tenancies. Scotland and Northern Ireland use rental geographies that do not map directly to local-authority boundaries, so those values remain blank here.
Average annual rent divided by average sale price for the same month. The source populations cover different homes and no costs are deducted.
1,476 aggregate records allocated from 3 intersecting observation cells. The value is not complete inventory or a count of unique dwellings.
