Property Sales in England - January 2014

The data people over at data.gov.uk publish figures from the Land Registry looking at 'Price Paid' on every Residential property. So far, they are up to January 2014 and the visualisation below really rams home the difference in the property market between London and the rest of England at least.

In January alone there were 3,663 properties sold at a total value of £1.9bn in the Greater London area, whereas the totals for all of England came in at 25,476 properties sold at a total value of £6.6bn. So whilst London only accounts for 14% of all sales, it accounts for around 29% of the value!

The most expensive property in January fetched a remarkable £13m (in London somewhere!) whilst the cheapest was just £11k. Not sure where that was, but I'll definitely have to find out!

The data provided by data.gov is pretty extensive, so I'll be playing around with it a little more in the near future. Also the data has been collected since 1995 so it might be interesting to do a bit of trend analysis on that. In the meantime though, enjoy:
