House prices: what do the different indices show? | Money | guardian.co.uk

Every month a number of organisations publish house price indices, each based on a different set of data. Sometimes the findings agree, sometimes they conflict. When we report on these figures we explain what they are showing, but we thought it would be useful to give a comprehensive guide to the main indices.
Whether you are buying or selling a property, working in the property industry, or just interested in the ups and downs of the housing market, it helps to know exactly who is producing each index, what data they use, and what the headline figures actually reflect.
