In cash terms the typical LA2 7 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 112%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 36% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LA2 7 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 (+38.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−34.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LA2 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.8% | −1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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.
LA2 7 recorded 24 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 78 sales a year before the financial crisis and 54 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
How LA2 7 trades
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LA2 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the LA2 district median, LA2 7 sits 13% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around LA2 7
For renting purposes LA2 7 sits in North Yorkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £833 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £582 a month here against £1,333 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, North Yorkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £235,000 median sold price, £833 a month is £9,996 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: 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.

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