Signals by mesh block — recent price growth and turnover within 1 km (by gnaf_id) (beta)
/v1/properties/{gnaf_id}/mesh-blocks/signals20¢ per callBeta. The figures behind this topic have not been validated against an independent source, so it is not sold at the same confidence as the other mesh-block topics. Every response says beta: true and carries a beta_notice.
Is this block moving? For every mesh block around the property: recent price growth on the block against its suburb, long-run house value growth, and the share of properties recently listed for rent.
One entry per mesh block within 1,000 m of the property under mesh_blocks, nearest first, each with its mb_code, distance_m, population and dwellings. Blocks across suburb lines are included. Values only — the polygons come from /properties/{gnaf_id}/context/mesh-blocks.
Every field carries provenance — measured (at this block), measured_wider_area (measured for the SA1 or postcode and repeated on every block in it), estimate (our model) or not_recorded (not labelled yet) — plus how, one sentence on how the number was arrived at (empty when not_recorded).

About this data
What this is
Market signals around one address, block by block (beta): recent price growth on each mesh block within 1 km against its suburb, long-run house value growth, and the share of properties recently listed for rent.
What people use it for
- Investors: spot blocks moving faster or slower than the suburb they sit in.
- Buyers' agents: a quick read on whether the streets around a home are in demand.
- Analysts: a block-level input to growth and turnover models.
Coverage
Mesh blocks nationwide (about 368,000). The 1 km radius crosses suburb lines. A field is null where we hold nothing for that block.
Tips
This topic is beta and its fields carry no recorded provenance yet, so treat the numbers as indicative. For suburb-level growth use /v1/suburbs/{suburb_name}/market/price-growth. Check provenance before quoting a field. Whole suburb: /v1/suburbs/{suburb_name}/mesh-blocks/signals. Polygons: /v1/properties/{gnaf_id}/context/mesh-blocks, joined on mb_code.
