Market data, from the source.
PROXERA is built on data. Here we take official statistics, show how each number is calculated and date every figure, so you can test a decision against the evidence.
OUR APPROACH
Primary sources. Dated figures. The method shown.
Property decisions are often made on headline numbers nobody can trace. Our market data pages work the other way round. Every figure comes from a primary source, such as the Office for National Statistics or HM Land Registry, carries the month it refers to and links to where it was published.
Where we calculate something ourselves, such as a gross yield, we show the formula and the inputs, and we say plainly what the number cannot tell you. How we research and maintain every page is set out in our editorial standards.
