Note
Realized prices. In the case of Flat Zone's data, these are transaction prices for the resale of flats in the client-client relationship at the time of registration in the Land Registry. According to Flat Zone's methodology, the category of "older flats" includes resales of flats built before 1995, while flats built after 1995 fall into the category of "new/refurbished flats". \The data methodology therefore differs, which causes differences in the dynamics and level of the time series, especially in the short term.
