BOROUGHLY · SCOTTISH DATA

How Boroughly measures Glasgow

Three official figures with three different boundaries. Here is how to read them and why none of them is a neighbourhood price.

Source records checked 10 November 2026. Reference periods are shown individually.

Why aren't these numbers the same?

£185,000 median is the midpoint of recorded residential sales in Glasgow city, as defined by National Records of Scotland localities, over 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026 (latest year provisional). It is not the same area as Glasgow City council.

£194,382 UK HPI average is a mix-adjusted estimate for the Glasgow City council area in 2026-08. It is a modelled average, not a median of sales, and recent months are provisional.

£1,091/month is the ONS Price Index of Private Rents average for two-bedroom homes across the wider Greater Glasgow rental area in September 2026. It covers new and existing tenancies, so it is usually below current advertised rents.

What Boroughly has not verified

The 19 pins are approximate neighbourhood centres, each checked against the postcode district it sits in. We have not matched a publishable Scottish transaction dataset to neighbourhood boundaries, so there are no area sale medians. Neighbourhood rents, Police Scotland incident rates, school catchment results and journey times are not in the pipeline either, and we would rather leave them out than estimate them.

Refreshing the figures

  1. The HPI figure updates monthly on GOV.UK. Update data/glasgow-sources.json with the new Glasgow City value, period and URL, then run npm run build; the build rejects non-official URLs and out-of-range values.
  2. The Registers of Scotland city median updates once a year with the Property Market Report.
  3. The ONS rent figure updates monthly.

Choose a real home, not an averaged area

Compare recent sales of similar homes and read the Home Report. For renting, compare current listings and check the landlord registration and deposit scheme. Check catchments for the exact address (Glasgow schools), flood maps (SEPA) and journeys on the subway and SPT services.
