Description:
Details of >9.5 million property transactions logged with HM Land Registry in England and Wales from 2014 to 2024 inclusive matched to >4.7 million snapshots of Zoopla property listings. The WhenFresh/Zoopla Property Transactions dataset refreshes yearly with a new batch of HM Land Registry transactions and Zoopla property listing snapshots, capturing the present state of the property market in England and Wales and uniting these with historic transactions and snapshots taken over the last decade. The data that make this possible are sourced from our data partner, WhenFresh by PriceHubble. Users can explore the property market in England and Wales using the three relational tables included in this dataset: properties (containing the addresses/postcodes of properties that are/have been on the market); transactions (containing the details of HM Land Registry transactions, e.g., the transaction date, price, property type, property characteristics, etc.); and listings (containing snapshots of the details in the property listings, e.g., the listed property type, listed property characteristics, advertised price, etc.). Looking for inspiration? See Five Ways Researchers Are Using Our WhenFresh/Zoopla Data! This Safeguarded version of the WhenFresh/Zoopla Property Transactions dataset does not include any proxy migration information. Users who need this supplementary information for research purposes may, instead, apply for access to the WhenFresh/Zoopla Property Transactions and Postal Redirections [Controlled] dataset which is augmented with Royal Mail postal redirection data (note: access to HASP Controlled Data is subject to stringent application criteria and the data are only accessible via a secure/trusted research environment). For a full list of tables and columns/fields included in this dataset, please see the Data Dictionary in the menu on the left hand side.
