Every dataset on this site carries the date the data actually runs to, not the date the page was built. The two are routinely months apart, and confusing them is how people end up quoting a market that has already moved.
Three different dates that get mixed up
| Date | What it means | Why it is not the others |
|---|---|---|
| Data date ("as at") | The last day the underlying data covers | The one that limits what you can honestly claim |
| Refreshed date | When we last rebuilt from the source | Can be recent even when the data is old |
| Page updated | When the words on the page changed | Says nothing at all about the data |
Different sources move at different speeds, and there is no honest way to average them. Land Registry sold prices are monthly with a registration lag; recorded crime is monthly and published per police force; an EPC can be ten years old and still current.
If a property site shows you a figure with no data date at all, you cannot tell whether it is from last month or three years ago. That absence is itself information.
