Quote any figure with a link to the page it comes from, for example: "according to Bazeta's analysis of HM Land Registry data (bazeta.com)". Each page names its official source and period.
Bazeta keeps the figures as each land registry and statistics office publishes them (medians, means or valuations — the page says which), adds the city link, the one-year change where the source allows it, gross rental yield = 12 × monthly rent / price, and crime per 1,000 residents with official population figures.
