How these figures are made
We combine HM Land Registry sales since 1995, the government energy performance certificate register and the UK house price index for every home in England and Wales, refreshed every morning. “Likely sellers” are homes scoring 55 or more on Upstream's motivation score, which weighs how long the owner has held the home, their likely equity, landlord purchases and energy ratings. “Landlords selling” are homes with a new sale certificate lodged in the last 60 days that were previously let. Read how to find motivated sellers and F and G rated rentals.
