On 16 July 2026 table was update due to an error in the calculation of Mean Price per Acre column. Mean Price per Acre column has been revised. It is now calculated as total value divided by total acreage sold at the county, NUTS3 and national levels. Previously, the NUTS3 and national figures in this column were calculated as arithmetic averages of price per acre. For further information please see the Information Note.
