Our house price statistics include all residential sales in Scotland between £20,000 and £1,000,000, and are based on date of registration.
They are produced in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics.
These statistics come from the land register. They date back to April 2003, when the last of Scotland's counties joined the land register.
Our house price statistics are distinct from the UK House Price Index. Read our Knowledge Base guidance notes and comparison page for more information.

Correction – 20 May 2019
An error was discovered in Table 1: average residential property price by local authority and Table 3: value of residential property sales by local authority of our quarterly statistics. This resulted in the incorrect ordering of results for local authorities listed between Falkirk and Na h-Eileanan Siar in 2014-15 Q1. The tables have now been amended to show the correct figures. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
