There are eight regular, monthly reports into the property market in the UK. Each one of them has its own strengths, weaknesses and data sets.

Nationwide, Halifax, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics), the Land Registry, the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML), Hometrack and Rightmove all produce monthly reports. Financial Times Academetrics then tries to build its own report based on those ones while websites such as Zoopla and mortgage sites produce reports now and again to add to the fun.

Journalists produce stories based on either one or several of these reports, they also call the people that provide the reports for specific data from time to time - adding even more confusion to the mix.
