HG5 9 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside HG5 (Knaresborough). 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.

| 1996 | £110,000 | £231,985 | 108 |
| 1995 | £110,000 | £239,123 | 81 |
In cash terms the typical HG5 9 home went from £110,000 in 1995 to £421,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 76%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HG5 9 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 1998 (+43.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2007 (−21.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.3% | −6.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.3% | −5.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.8% | −2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in HG5 9
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 17 HG5 9 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 104 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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 tenants pay around HG5 9
For renting purposes HG5 9 sits in North Yorkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £833 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £582 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,333, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, North Yorkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£833 a month is £9,996 a year, which against the £421,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.4%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
The shape of the HG5 9 market
This is a thin market: 17 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within HG5, this sector trades 20% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Bedroom by bedroom: HG prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the HG area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
