Column Dictionary
The table below lists every column in both downloads. 5 of the 10 columns appear in both files. The rest are specific to either the postcode or council dataset.
| Column | Description | Present in |
|---|---|---|
| district | Postcode district code, e.g. "AL1" | Postcode file only |
| area_name | Post town / area name for the district | Postcode file only |
| council | Local authority name | Both files |
| region | Government office region (e.g. "South East") | Both files |
| median_price | Median residential sale price (GBP), HM Land Registry, 3-year rolling window | Both files |
| monthly_rent | Monthly rent (GBP). Currently the median from ONS Private Rental Market Statistics, Oct 2022 to Sep 2023. Column name is source-neutral so it stays stable when the rent series is updated. | Both files |
| gross_yield_pct | Gross rental yield: (monthly_rent x 12) / median_price x 100 | Both files |
| confidence | "low" if the postcode district had fewer than 30 recorded sales in the 3-year window, otherwise "normal" | Postcode file only (no equivalent flag exists at council level) |
| district_count | Number of postcode districts within the council | Council file only |
| total_transactions | Total recorded sales across the council in the 3-year window | Council file only |
Data Currency
Property prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data. This is a rolling 3-year window ending Q1 2025. Rent figures come from the ONS Private Rental Market Statistics series for October 2022 to September 2023. This was the final period published before ONS discontinued the series. Gross yield figures therefore combine recent sale prices with the most recent available government rent data, not a live or current-year rent survey.
Full detail on both data series is on the methodology page.
