Data table and workings

Published UK House Price Index average price, all property types and all buyers, not seasonally adjusted. Entire series comes from the 2026-07 official full-file release, preserving its historical revisions and exact area codes. It is a mix-adjusted average, not the median price paid.

Prices are in pounds at the time, not adjusted for inflation.

Whole local authority area; not a typical home listing or the budget needed by a first-time buyer.

Provisional estimates can be revised. Historical boundaries follow the exact published source code; no old-code series has been relabelled.

The table retains the full reviewed history when the chart is shortened. Preset ranges end at this measure’s latest published period. Yearly windows count published annual periods; monthly windows count months. Gaps are never filled with estimates.

What is still missing

The reviewed local schemes are a selected evidence collection, not a complete council capital programme.

Current service capacity, incomes, waiting lists, school demand and project outcomes need additional verified local evidence before firm claims can be made.

The June Anglia Square timetable is not proof that construction subsequently started or demolition finished. East Norwich includes linked sites and partner authorities; allocated homes and jobs are planned capacity.

Project locations have not yet been checked against current ward boundaries. No ward impact is inferred from a city-centre address.

No completed-home total or measured bill-saving result is published on the reviewed energy-support page. The 330-home figure is a programme aim, and the £4.7 million allocation is not verified spending.
