Our house price statistics include all residential sales in Scotland, 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.
Please note, we are currently reviewing these statistics, please let us know if you make use of them by emailing Garreth.Jones@ros.gov.uk

Areas with less than 5 sales have had the value of sales suppressed to help minimise the risk of data disclosure and to ensure that any averages presented are based on at least 5 records.
