The underlying statistics are published by ONS, HM Land Registry and the Bank of England's Interactive Database under the Open Government Licence; we add the reading, the timestamp and the wording, not the data.
Each figure below carries its reference period (the period the figure describes) and its read date (when we pulled it from the publisher). We do not show a publication-release date: our store keeps the reading and the period it refers to, not the publisher's release timestamp, and inferring one per figure would be a guess dressed as provenance. Where the two dates differ matters — a monthly figure read weeks later may since have been revised at source, which is precisely why the read date is published.
