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.

Methodology & Data Sources

  • House prices: UK House Price Index (ONS / Land Registry)
  • 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.
