How to Use This Page
This page won't tell you where prices are going next.
It will help you:
- compare different years on a like-for-like basis
- understand whether past "growth" was real or inflation-led
- spot differences between property types that £ alone can hide
It's a reality check, not a forecast.

- Bread prices: UK consumer price data (average loaf proxy)
- Calculation: house price divided by bread price
- Updates: monthly, as new data is released
Bread is a proxy. It's not perfect, but it tracks everyday costs closely enough to be useful.
