According to the Land Registry, 27,332 residential sales have been registered from March 2019.

Across England and Wales, there were 451 £1m or more sales, compared to 366 registered in February, including 99 at £2m or more.

The most expensive residential sale in March was of a detached property in Camden for £38,500,000.

The cheapest residential sale in March was of a terraced property in Ferryhill, County Durham for £17,250.

The Land Registry lists the price paid for every property bought at market value.

The data also includes sales under a power of sale/repossessions, buy-to-lets (where they can be identified by a mortgage) and transfers to non-private individuals.

It may take several weeks for sales to be registered after completion so some sales from later in March may not be listed yet.

As the data relies on buyers, or their solicitors, registering the sale and the price paid with the Land Registry, mistakes in listings may happen, they are usually corrected at a later date.

Issues can include figures with too many digits or shared ownership prices paid for a part share listed as the whole price.
