In cash terms the typical HU16 4 home went from £59,500 in 1995 to £237,500 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 84%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HU16 4 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 (+38.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−12.8%). 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) | +2.9% | +0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in HU16 4
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 40 sales completed in HU16 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 161 sales a year before the financial crisis and 104 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 HU16 4
HU16 4 falls under East Riding of Yorkshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £721 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£721 a month is £8,652 a year, which against the £237,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. 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.
How HU16 4 trades
Only 40 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HU16 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Bedroom by bedroom: HU prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the HU 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 | — | £232,000 | £320,000 (+38%) | £450,000 (+41%) | £630,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £145,000 | £175,000 (+21%) | £210,000 (+20%) | £291,000 (+39%) | £400,000 (+37%) |
| Terraced | £115,000 | £126,500 (+10%) | £146,500 (+16%) | £195,000 (+33%) | £267,000 (+37%) |
| Flat | £88,000 | £125,000 (+42%) | £196,500 (+57%) | — | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
