Bar chart: assets by price paid from nominal and non-monetary to over £1 million and where price is unknown

The data for this chart is available in Table 5 of the Tables and Charts supporting document.

The non-monetary category consists of a variety of legal processes by which an asset can be transferred without money being exchanged, e.g. a gift or legacy. Prices under £100 are taken to be nominal.

The most common price category was £10,000-£100,000: 163 assets

To give a fair comparison over time all purchase prices have been converted to 2019 prices.

Excluding non-monetary transactions and nominal amounts, a total of £3.1 million was

paid for 25 assets acquired in 2019.

The price of an asset can range from its market value down to a nominal sum paid or a non-monetary transaction. Most prices have been verified against the Land Register.

Of the 114 assets not on the Land Register, 93 do not have price information available. For the remaining 21, price has been taken from the original source.
