As above, which is my evidence not yours.
The reason for the waver to the report is, as it says but you ignore, to
avoid financial liability.
Of course it also says in the report

ABOUT THE HALIFAX HOUSE PRICE INDEX

The Halifax House Price Index is the UK's longest running monthly house
price series with data covering the whole country going back to January
1983. The Index is typically based on around 15,000 house purchases per
month, and covers the whole calendar month. From this data, a "standardised"
house price is calculated and property price movements on a like-for-like
basis (including seasonal adjustments) are analysed over time.Properties
over £1 million are included and the index is seasonally adjusted with the
seasonal factors updated monthly.
