HG1 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside HG1 (Harrogate). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What HG1 5 homes really sell for
Take the 59 registered 2026 sales in HG1 5 and the middle price, the median, is £215,000. The mean lands at £267,800, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
Price per square metre in HG1 5
Measured by floor area, the last five years of HG1 5 sales average about £3,240 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

In cash terms the typical HG1 5 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 98%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2016, and today's median remains roughly 37% under it: a 2016 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HG1 5 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2000 (+34.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−23.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −23.4% | −25.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.8% | −7.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.3% | −4.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 59 HG1 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 245 sales a year before the financial crisis and 121 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around HG1 5
HG1 5 falls under North Yorkshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £833 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £582 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,333 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Yorkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £215,000 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 4.6% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
Reading the HG1 5 market
This is a thin market: 59 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within HG1, this sector trades 18% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Bedroom by bedroom: HG prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HG area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £325,000 | £469,995 (+45%) | £701,995 (+49%) | £980,000 (+40%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
