LSL Acad HPI is the only UK house price index based upon every residential property transaction in England and Wales and is designed to provide a “true measure of house price inflation”. LSL Acad HPI has been chosen by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the world's largest derivative exchange, for their proposed residential house price derivative which we expect will be launched once the current falls in house prices can be seen nearing an end.

Our unique test as to whether indices provide a “true measure” is explained in our “Index Monitor” paper.

The series of downloadable documents provided below includes our latest news release and full historic data series. The significant differences which can arise between indices based upon mortgage offers and those based upon final transaction prices are particularly in evidence in the results this year.

A history of our index is provided in "Why an LSL Acad HPI?".

LSL Acad HPI was launched in September 2003 under the name FTHPI; it is now released by Acadametrics for publication on the Friday preceding the second Saturday of every month.
