The HU2 (North of Centre) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 1,075 registered sales in HU2 (Hull) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

HU2 sold prices: where the market stands
The HU2 median stands at £93,800 for 2026, built from 10 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £96,300, practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.
HU2 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of HU2 sales average about £1,400 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, HU2 runs 67% below it.

In cash terms the typical HU2 home went from £31,400 in 1995 to £93,800 in 2026, roughly 3.0 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 37%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2008. The market now sits about 55% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HU2 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 2004 (+84.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2001 (−28.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 57% of the typed total.

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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
HU2 recorded 41 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 55 sales a year before the financial crisis and 25 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around HU2
The local authority for HU2 is Kingston upon Hull, City of, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £690 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £497 a month here against £980 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Kingston upon Hull, City of
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£690 a month is £8,280 a year, which against the £93,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 8.8%. 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 kind of market HU2 is
Only 41 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HU2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. HU2 is currently the cheapest district of its postcode area by median price, which cuts both ways: the lowest entry price, and the least priced-in expectation.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £232,000 | £320,000 (+38%) | £450,000 (+41%) | £630,000 (+40%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
