## Methodology

Every Greater London transaction in the Land Registry's latest monthly Price Paid update, placed at its postcode centroid and coloured by price. Registered last month, not sold last month: registration lags completion by weeks and sometimes years, so the file carries a spread of transfer dates and says so on each dot. A dot is a postcode rather than a doorstep, which is roughly the anonymity police.uk applies to crime.

## Visualisations

- [Transaction hotspots](https://londongraph.com/g/what-just-sold?view=hotspots): Aggregate visible transactions into relative on-screen concentration while preserving true counts.
- [Price distributions](https://londongraph.com/g/what-just-sold?view=prices): Compare the median and quartiles of registered prices by property type. Caveat: The monthly update is grouped by registration date; transfer dates can be much earlier.
