Housing

Notes, definitions and methodology for housing market and house prices data

The Regulated Mortgage Survey (RMS) is a monthly Communities and Local Government and Council of Mortgage Lenders survey, which collects house price information from mortgage lenders for properties that reached completion during the month and for which they provided the mortgage.

Other data collected includes locality, type of dwelling, size, whether or not the property is new and whether the buyer was a first time buyer or not.

The data are used primarily to determine a monthly mix-adjusted house price index - but also provides valuable additional information on the housing market.
