A little late but I've just uploaded the latest postcode data to the site. The biggest change is that new built up areas (from 2024) are included in the data. 

I've run my usual sanity checks and not found any issues, but let me know if you find anything amiss

I've uploaded the latest house price data for England and Wales to the website. I've also added a map showing the average prices in the different postcode areas, which unsurprisingly highlights that London and the South East are the most expensive parts of the country

If you're a fan of British train stations (and who isn't?) then you'll be excited to learn I've uploaded the latest station usage data to the site. Liverpool Street in London retains its position as the busiest station, thanks to the extra traffic from the Elizabeth line. Overall usage still hasn't quite reached pre-Covid levels, presumably due to WFH becoming a bigger part of people's lives.

In other news, I'm on Bluesky, since it looks like it may remain a sane place dues to its ownership model. Follow me there if you want to read the same things you can read here

The latest house price data has landed and has been uploaded to the site. Little has changed, prices continue to fall, sales volumes are still low. 

I've nearly finished uploading the latest house price data for England and Wales to the website. Prices continue to fall and sales volumes still look very low. The falls are affecting pretty much all areas, but a special shoutout to my hometown, what is happening in Blackburn?

I've started to include road names in the UK postcode CSV downloads. Let me know if you spot any problems or if you want them included in any other downloads

I've uploaded the latest ONS postcode data to the site. There have been some changes to the data provided. Built up areas have been updated to the latest 2022 areas and built up area sub-divisions no longer exist. Constituency boundaries are now from the 2024 election. This means the layout of the CSV files has changed and there will be more changes as I clean up any other references to the old data.

As usual, let me know if you see any problems

I'm in the process of uploading the latest Land Registry data to the site. Prices continue to fall although it appears the rate of falls has reached a plateau. Sales volumes still seem anaemic. I'm guessing the recent interest rate reduction will start to have an impact in the months ahead

I've updated the Multiple Postcodes page so you can now use it to get a list of all the streets that are covered by the selected postcode areas. You can grab the data as CSV or KML. Any suggestions or problems, let me know

I'm currently importing the latest house price data from the Land Registry to the website. Prices seem to be flat-lining although the annual change is still negative. Sales volumes are still low with no sign of turning round. I guess lower interest rates may start having an effect in the coming months.
