Data description (abstract)

This repository is the third updated version of the attribute-linked residential property price dataset in UK Data Service ReShare 854240 (https://reshare.ukdataservice.ac.uk/854240/). As with the first updated version (ReShare 855033 https://reshare.ukdataservice.ac.uk/855033/) in 2021, this updated dataset contains individual property transactions and associated variables from both Land Registry Price Paid Dataset (LR PPD) and the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) data. This is a linked result by address matching between LR-PPD data (1/1/1995-31/10/2023) and Domestic EPCs data (ending with 31/10/2023). It is the whole of the 2023 update dataset published in the Greater London Authority (GLA) London Datastore (https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/house-price-per-square-metre-in-england-and-wales).

The linked dataset in this repository is the uncorrected version, recording over 21 million transactions with 107 variables in England and Wales between 1/1/1995 and 31/10/2023. We have offered technical validation and data cleaning code in UKDA ReShare 854240 to help users to evaluate the representation and clean up the data.

This repository covers the original LR PPD and Domestic EPCs for the linked data (house price per square metre dataset). Similar to the first updated version, a field header has been added in LR PPD. Six variables (LMK_KEY, address, address 1, address 2, address 3, postcode) in Domestic EPCs are removed. A newly created unique identifier (id) is added in Domestic EPCs, this id is newly created for the Domestic EPCs(downloaded on 2/12/2023). It is not the same id as the id in the Domestic EPCs from UK Data Service ReShare 854240 and ReShare 855033 or the ReShare 856204. Since November 2021, DLUCH has published Domestic EPCs with the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) hence the dataset in this repository contains the UPRN information from the Domestic EPCs.
