A property data tool demonstration and the environmental, financial & social applications
Wednesday 8th February 2023 3pm
Leeds Institute for Data Analytics, Room 11.87
The tool is available for staff / students to use via the Consumer Data Research Centre partnership with MIAC.
It uses the Rental Index (RPI) and House Price Index (HPI) and offers the following:
- Ability to review house price and rental price information at country, region, county and London-borough-level
- Heat map of monthly changes in price at county/borough-level
- Ability to track transaction volumes by month over time; including comparisons pre- and post-pandemic
- Ability to see Historic Flooding Data by area (relevant to house price/rental values and insurance premiums) – important for researchers interested in the interdependency between housing market movements and trends in sustainability/climate change
- Option of using an Automated Valuation Model (AVM) for rental values by area and property type.
