LONDON, Aug 21 (Reuters) -Britain has withdrawn property transactions data due to anomalies and has postponed the publication of July statistics scheduled for release on Thursday.

"Outputs obtained whilst updating the monthly series contained some significant and unexplained differences with the statistics published last month," Revenue and Customs said on its Web site.

"All months in the statistical series are affected, with the differences showing falls in some months and increases in others. We are working to understand the reason for these differences so that a reliable set of statistics can be produced."

Revised statistics will be published on Sept. 21.
