releases before trend monitoring
This edition starts a new baseline. Earlier editions remain available, but their record counts are not directly comparable.
Series maturity
A new comparison baseline.
Earlier maps used a limited extract. This edition removes that limit. The larger record count reflects wider coverage, so comparisons with earlier maps are withheld.

comparison.
Current records and collection coverage are shown for each region. Changes from earlier maps are not compared because the input method has changed.

Interpretation boundary
What this edition
cannot prove.
- 01
This release removes the previous record limit and starts a new comparison baseline. Differences from earlier editions are not market changes.
- 02
The 18 August 2026 area layer predates the immutable national manifest series. It remains available as historical evidence but is not counted as an approved national release.
- 03
Current record representations are not counts of unique homes, bookings, tenancies or complete local market inventory.
- 04
Local movement can reflect collection, geolocation and identity evidence as well as changes in the current market cross-section.
- 05
Long-let rent, growth, sale-price and yield measures use their separately stated official evidence periods and are not inferred from the observation layer.
