The United Kingdom (UK) has among the best housing statistics in the world. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister is the source of official house price time-series, with annual, quarterly and monthly data available stretching back for aeons. Nationwide, Hometrack, the Halifax, and many other commercial organizations also publish quality UK house price time-series, annual, quarterly, and monthly.
The rents situation is much less good, the only figures being from the Association of Registered Letting Agents (ARLA).
