The Land Registry lists the price paid for every property bought at market value. The data also includes sales under a power of sale/repos- sessions, buy-to-lets (where they can be identified by a Mortgage) and transfers to non-private individual­s. It may take several weeks for sales to be registered after completion so some sales from the very end of the year may not be listed yet.
