House price heat map of England & Wales

Average house prices shaded on one map: postcode areas first, then neighbourhoods as you zoom, then sectors, then every individual sold home at its real price. Click any shape for its median year by year with the number of sales behind each figure, plus the typical private rent and the gross yield it implies.

A year-by-year play bar shows the market moving since 1995: press play and thirty years of prices spread outwards from every city centre. The today's-money toggle restates every year in current pounds using ONS inflation figures, which matters more than it sounds: much of "prices doubled since 2005" is inflation, and stripping it out shows which places actually grew and which only kept pace.

The colour scale is fixed nationally rather than rescaling per view, so two places on opposite sides of the country are genuinely comparable, and a colour-blind palette is one click away. You can shade by median, by average, or by how many homes actually change hands, which is often the more telling number.

Every figure is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data: recorded sales, not asking prices or estimates. Medians are used rather than means wherever a typical price is quoted, because a handful of very large sales can drag an average a long way from what most homes cost.
