In cash terms the typical HU18 home went from £46,400 in 1995 to £197,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 96%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2024; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2024 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HU18 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 (+53.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.1%). 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) | −8.1% | −10.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.0% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 36% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £280,000 against £136,200 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

How many homes change hands in HU18
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
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.
HU18 recorded 144 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 256 sales a year before the financial crisis and 163 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around HU18
For renting purposes HU18 sits in East Riding of Yorkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £721 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £500 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,160 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, East Riding of Yorkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £197,500 median purchase price, a rent of £721 a month (£8,652 a year) works out at a 4.4% 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.
Reading the HU18 market
This is a thin market: 144 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 price of an extra bedroom in HU
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.
| 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%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
