HU6 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside HU6 (Hull). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical HU6 8 home went from £35,500 in 1995 to £127,500 in 2026, roughly 3.6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 65%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 23% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HU6 8 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 (+39.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2002 (−12.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.9% | −4.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.8% |
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 HU6 8
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 22 sales completed in HU6 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 130 sales a year before the financial crisis and 61 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.
Reading the HU6 8 market
Only 22 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HU6 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the HU6 district median, HU6 8 sits 16% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of HU6 8
The local authority for HU6 8 is Kingston upon Hull, City of, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £127,500 median purchase price, a rent of £690 a month (£8,280 a year) works out at a 6.5% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in HU
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HU area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) | — | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
