The source adds the following comment: "Not all England and Northern Ireland Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) returns for transactions in the latest month will have been received by HMRC when figures are compiled. An estimate is therefore made to account for these unreceived returns. Transactions statistics are reported based upon when transactions were completed and only include those with a value of above £40,000."

Number of housing transactions in England 2012-2024
The housing market in England picked up in 2024 after cooling for two consecutive years. In 2023, the number of housing transactions fell to **, which was the lowest figure since 2012, when the market was still recovering from the global financial crisis. In 2024, housing transactions rose to **. Some of the main factors that have led to the decline in home buying are the cost of living crisis, higher mortgage rates, low inventory, and the rapid increase in house prices across the UK.
