In cash terms the typical HU8 home went from £37,900 in 1995 to £145,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 76%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HU8 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 (+33.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−7.0%). 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, 54% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £237,500 against £65,000 for a flat, 3.7 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.
The turnover behind the prices
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 304 HU8 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 758 sales a year before the financial crisis and 362 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 HU8
The local authority for HU8 is Kingston upon Hull, City of, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £690 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £145,000 median sold price, £690 a month is £8,280 a year, a gross yield of 5.7%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in HU
Real sold prices by size across the HU area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £232,000 | £320,000 (+38%) | £450,000 (+41%) | £630,000 (+40%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
