In cash terms the typical HU3 home went from £26,000 in 1995 to £116,200 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 106%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HU3 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 2006 (+37.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2001 (−17.0%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 84% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £195,000 against £36,800 for a flat, 5.3 times the price.

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 HU3
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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 172 sales completed in HU3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 979 sales a year before the financial crisis and 227 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.
Rents around HU3
HU3 falls under Kingston upon Hull, City of, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £690 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £497 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £980, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £116,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.1%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: HU prices by size
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.
| 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%) |

| 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
