Land Registry

ukh_hpi() fetches UK House Price Index data for 441+ regions (countries, English regions, counties, local authorities) from 1995 onwards. Includes average prices, index values, percentage changes, sales volumes, and breakdowns by property type and buyer type.
ukh_hpi_compare() fetches one measure across multiple regions in a wide data frame.
ukh_transactions() returns monthly transaction volumes for a region (extracts the sales_volume series from ukh_hpi(), noting the ~5-month lag).
ukh_ppd() fetches individual property transactions from Price Paid Data, filtered by local authority, postcode, property type, tenure, new-build status, and date range.
ukh_ppd_bulk() downloads yearly or complete Price Paid CSVs, with automatic fallback to split part files for larger years.
ukh_ppd_summary() returns aggregated statistics (counts, median and mean prices) by month, property type, or local authority.
ukh_ppd_years() fetches PPD across multiple years in one call and row-binds.
ukh_ppd_transaction() looks up a single transaction by its GUID via the Land Registry linked-data REST API.
ukh_ppd_address() looks up transactions by postcode via the address lookup endpoint, avoiding the full yearly download.

ukh_epc_set_key() stores EPC API credentials for the session.
ukh_epc_search() queries certificates with filters (postcode, local authority, property type, energy rating, built form, date range). Pagination handled automatically via search-after tokens. Supports type = "domestic" (default), "non-domestic", and "display".
ukh_epc_certificate() fetches a single certificate with all 90+ fields plus improvement recommendations.
ukh_epc_summary() returns the distribution of energy ratings (A-G) for a local authority.
ukh_epc_bulk() downloads and extracts the per-LA bulk ZIP.
ukh_epc_recommendations_summary() aggregates improvement recommendations across a local authority.

ukh_planning() queries planning.data.gov.uk for brownfield land, planning applications, local plans, conservation areas, listed buildings, and more. Supports format = "sf" to return simple features for GeoJSON-capable datasets (requires the sf package, declared in Suggests).
ukh_planning_datasets() lists all 100+ available datasets.

ukh_pipr() fetches the ONS Price Index of Private Rents (monthly, UK and regional, from January 2015) via the ONS Beta API.

ukh_sparql() runs an arbitrary SPARQL query against the Land Registry endpoint (HPI + PPD) or the Open Data Communities endpoint (300+ MHCLG housing-market datasets).

ukh_regions() returns a lookup table of common UK HPI region slugs with their names, GSS codes, and tier.
ukh_clear_cache() empties the local download cache.
ukh_cache_info() reports what is cached and how much space it uses.
