In cash terms the typical HU20 home went from £90,000 in 1995 to £363,800 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 86%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2010; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2010 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HU20 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 2010 (+91.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−41.2%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 63% of the typed total.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.3% | −2.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +10.8% | +5.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in HU20
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 20 HU20 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 16 sales a year before the financial crisis and 8 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 tenants pay around HU20
The local authority for HU20 is East Riding of Yorkshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £721 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £363,800 median sold price, £721 a month is £8,652 a year, a gross yield of 2.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How HU20 trades
This is a thin market: 20 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. 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. By median price, HU20 presently tops its postcode area.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 67% over five years in cash and up 32% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Moving up a bedroom in HU: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HU area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £232,000 | £320,000 (+38%) | £450,000 (+41%) | £630,000 (+40%) |

| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
