In cash terms the typical HU9 4 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £140,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 101%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 4% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HU9 4 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 (+38.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2000 (−22.2%). 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) | +18.6% | +15.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.0% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.4% | +1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in HU9 4
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.
HU9 4 recorded 31 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 123 sales a year before the financial crisis and 97 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.
What tenants pay around HU9 4
The local authority for HU9 4 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Kingston upon Hull, City of
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £140,000 median purchase price, a rent of £690 a month (£8,280 a year) works out at a 5.9% 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.
How HU9 4 trades
This is a thin market: 31 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Within HU9, this sector trades 12% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

These cover the whole HU9 district, not just HU9 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 15% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

What another bedroom costs in HU
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HU area. 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.
