Post-war (1945–1964)
What a home of this era typically means
  • Cavity walls are common but frequently uninsulated as built.
  • Some homes of this era are “non-traditional” (concrete or steel-frame) construction — a few types can complicate mortgage lending, so confirm the build type.

HM Land Registry Price Paid Data; sales before 1995 are not in the public dataset. Rows marked non-standard are "additional price paid" entries (repossessions, bulk purchases, right-to-buy) — listed for completeness, excluded from the change figures.
