In cash terms the typical HU6 home went from £38,500 in 1995 to £152,500 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 82%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HU6 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 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +10.5% | +7.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 51% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £245,000 against £72,500 for a flat, 3.4 times the price.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 238 sales completed in HU6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 509 sales a year before the financial crisis and 260 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.
Rents around HU6
For renting purposes HU6 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.
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 £152,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.4%. 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.

HU6's current homes for sale

13% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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. 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
