Hull market report HU
The HU (Hull) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 234,400 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in the HU postcode area (Hull) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the typical home in the HU postcode area (Hull) sold for £174,000 in 2026, the median of 2,280 registered sales, up 4% on five years earlier. The mean was £202,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,170 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 234,400 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.
The HU postcode area centred on Hull covers 20 districts. At this scale the figures average away real local contrasts; the district reports below are the place for anywhere specific.

What a home in HU sells for
Across 2,280 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) HU home went for £174,000. The mean is £202,900, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
What a square metre costs in HU
The last five years of sales put HU at roughly £2,170 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, HU sits 39% below the national market.

Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical HU home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £174,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 91%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HU 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 2003 (+20.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−4.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What HU has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.4% | −6.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −3.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 42% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £315,000 against £100,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 4,925 sales completed in HU. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 10,407 sales a year before the financial crisis and 5,652 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 HU
For renting purposes HU sits in East Riding of Yorkshire, the local authority covering most of the HU area (parts fall under Kingston upon Hull, City of, where rents differ). The ONS average private rent there is £721 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £500 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,160, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, East Riding of Yorkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £174,000 median purchase price, a rent of £721 a month (£8,652 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 4% over five years in cash but down 18% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Bedroom by bedroom: HU prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the HU 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.
