In cash terms the typical HU16 5 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £245,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 88%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HU16 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 2002 (+29.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.7%). 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) | −6.4% | −8.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 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.
Sales activity in HU16 5
How many homes change hands
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, 63 sales completed in HU16 5. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 176 sales a year recently, against 165 a year before 2008. 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 HU16 5
The local authority for HU16 5 is East Riding of Yorkshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £245,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in HU
What homes of each size actually sold for across the HU area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
