Rightmove.co.uk
Rightmove's house price index is compiled from initial asking prices of property
placed on Rightmove each month by estate agents and represents about 50% of the total market.
The index is particularly useful as it’s large sample size reduces volatility and
as it measures asking prices during the previous month it provides a good insight
into current trends. However it is not seasonally corrected.

Department for Communities and Local Government DCLG (formerly ODPM)
DCLG is the successor department to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM)
with a remit to promote community cohesion and equality, as well as
responsibility for housing, urban regeneration, planning and local government.
Note: The CLG are in the process of rearranging their website and have moved everything around.
This section will be updated when they've finally sorted themselves out.
The DCLG (formerly ODPM) publish several house price indices (simple average, new mix-adjusted, median)
based on either Land Registry
data collected at the sale registration stage or on mortgage data at the sale completion stage.
The LR based indices, although eventually authorative because they are
based on a near complete sample, have a limited predictive value because of lags in the data collection process
and publication dates.
