In cash terms the typical HU4 home went from £41,200 in 1995 to £155,800 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 74%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HU4 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 (+25.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What HU4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.6% | −7.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £240,000 against £80,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

Sales activity in HU4
The year-by-year sales count
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.
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.
HU4 recorded 259 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 510 sales a year before the financial crisis and 270 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.
The rental side of HU4
For renting purposes HU4 sits in Kingston upon Hull, City of. The ONS average private rent there is £690 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £497 a month for a typical one-bed to £980 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £155,800 median sold price, £690 a month is £8,280 a year, a gross yield of 5.3%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: HU prices by size
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%) |
