How to check house prices

Every residential property sale in England and Wales is recorded by HM Land Registry. This Price Paid Data goes back to January 1995 and is updated monthly with a slight delay (typically 4-6 weeks after completion).

HouseCheckup makes this data searchable in seconds, free and with no signup. Simply enter an address or postcode to see the full sold price history, including sale price, date, property type (detached, semi, terraced, flat), and tenure (freehold or leasehold).

For current values, we analyse comparable sales, price per square metre from EPC data, and local market trends to give an indicative value range — always a range derived from sold comparables, never a single-number valuation. The full report includes a comps-derived value range with the reasoning shown, and the risk checks that affect what a home is worth.

What affects house prices

Eight key factors that drive property values — each one covered in a HouseCheckup report.

Location

Proximity to city centres, transport links, and amenities remains the single biggest driver of house prices.

Schools

Properties near Outstanding-rated schools typically command a price premium. Check Ofsted ratings for any address.

Transport

Walking distance to a railway station or Tube stop significantly affects property values, especially in commuter areas.

Crime

Lower crime areas correlate with higher property values. Street-level crime data can reveal hidden risks.

Flood Risk

Flood risk can reduce a property's value and affects insurance premiums and mortgage availability. Check the official flood-risk data for any postcode.

EPC Rating

As energy costs rise and minimum EPC requirements tighten, Band D or below properties face increasing price pressure.

Planning

Nearby development — positive or negative — can significantly impact value. New infrastructure often lifts prices.

Supply & Demand

Local housing stock, new build rates, and population growth all influence the balance of supply and demand.

Frequently asked questions

Search your address to see its Land Registry sold-price history and a sold-price based value range built from comparable sales and £ per square metre. We show a range, not a single number — no automated model can see condition, renovations or lease terms. The Complete report (£24.99) shows the comparable sales behind the range.
HouseCheckup uses HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which records every residential property sale in England and Wales. This is official government data updated monthly. We combine it with EPC floor-area data to calculate £ per square metre for comparable sales.
No online estimate is a valuation. Even the largest UK portals acknowledge algorithms can't consider a property's condition, features and improvements. That's why HouseCheckup only ever shows a range built from actual sold prices nearby, with the comparable sales listed — and the range widens where sales are thin.
As of April 2026, the average UK house price is approximately £373,971 according to HM Land Registry data. However, averages vary enormously by region — from around £170,400 in the North East to over £523,400 in London. Search any postcode on HouseCheckup for local average prices.
Search any UK address on HouseCheckup to see its full sold price history from HM Land Registry records going back to 1995. You can also check neighbouring properties to understand local pricing. The data includes sale price, date, property type, and whether it was freehold or leasehold.
