The statistics include all market value sales in Scotland, based on the date of registration with Registers of Scotland.
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.
For the most up to date Scotland and Local Authority figures please see Registers of Scotland house price statistics. For a comparison, to understand the difference between these two datasets please see our guide to using RoS house price statistics. how-we-compile-our-statistics.
For house price data dating from 1993 please see House Prices.
This dataset does not contain any directly identifiable personal information. In addition, areas with less than 5 sales have had the value of sales suppressed to help minimise the risk of data disclosure.
Figures from the Scottish Government analysis of sales data supplied by Registers of Scotland are cross-checked to published Registers of Scotland figures to check high level trends in numbers of sales and average prices.
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. Average (mean) sales values in some areas may potentially be affected by outlier values, for example particularly large individual house sales values. Transactions recorded without a fully complete and correct postcode are excluded.
The figures presented provide information on counts and average values of residential property transactions across various geographical areas, and have not been adjusted or controlled by type or size of dwelling, or any other attribute. Therefore differences seen across time may be partly due to differences in the underlying composition of dwellings being sold across each period. Differences seen between areas may be partly due to underlying differences in the average sizes of properties, or other property attributes, between each area. Changes in average house prices over time for Scotland and Scottish local authority areas are separately reported on as part of the UK House Price Index (UK HPI). The UK HPI is mix-adjusted to allow an assessment of the changes in average prices of properties over time irrespective of any underlying differences between homes sold in different periods, for example the type or size of property. Registers of Scotland publish a range of monthly, quarterly and annual statistics on house sales and house prices, which include figures at a Scotland and local authority level, and which are available on the Registers of Scotland website. For a comparison, to understand the difference between these two datasets please see our guide to using RoS house price statistics. how-we-compile-our-statistics.
The figures presented provide information on counts and average values of residential property transactions across various geographical areas. Further more detailed analyses of sales at a Scotland and local authority level is available from Registers of Scotland statistical reports.
Figures on house sales and house prices are a key part of assessing the health and performance of the housing market in Scotland, and can be used in conjunction with separate data such as average household income to help assess how housing affordability varies between different areas of Scotland.
Figures are typically released a few months following the end of the calendar year that the figures relate to, depending on timeliness of data provision and analysis.
This full dataset was revised in 2023. New data will be added on an annual basis early in the following year.
This is a linked data resource: it has a permanent unique uri at which both humans and machines can find it on the Internet, and which can be used an identifier in queries on our SPARQL endpoint.
