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.
Our statistics show the average price, volume of sales and market value for residential property in Scotland. The statistics are available from April 2003 to the most recent month.
We are proposing to make changes to our revisions policy. This will mean making revisions to our statistics further back in time and using the latest available data on a more frequent basis.
Please find further details in the spreadsheet below and the opportunity to provide feedback.
The proposed changes will be implemented from 1 May 2020 when the 2019-20 Q4 (January to March 2020) statistics are published, subject to any feedback received.
