What HG1 homes really sell for
Across 255 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) HG1 home went for £262,000. The mean is £310,400, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
HG1 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of HG1 sales average about £3,370 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.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving HG1 8% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical HG1 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £262,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 141%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HG1 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 2002 (+29.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−5.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 35% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £420,000 against £210,000 for a flat, 2.0 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.0% | −5.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in HG1
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 543 HG1 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 1,048 sales a year before the financial crisis and 603 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around HG1
HG1 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 £262,000 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in HG: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the HG area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £325,000 | £469,995 (+45%) | £701,995 (+49%) | £980,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £229,475 | £265,000 (+15%) | £335,000 (+26%) | £502,250 (+50%) | £755,000 (+50%) |
| Terraced | £190,000 | £230,000 (+21%) | £277,000 (+20%) | £399,500 (+44%) | £549,950 (+38%) |
| Flat | £136,000 | £220,000 (+62%) | £355,000 (+61%) | £625,000 (+76%) | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
