In cash terms the typical LA6 3 home went from £53,500 in 1995 to £251,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 117%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 35% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LA6 3 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 2002 (+52.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−32.0%). 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) | −14.0% | −16.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.6% | −2.2% |
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.
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.
LA6 3 recorded 19 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 62 sales a year before the financial crisis and 43 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.
How LA6 3 trades
This is a thin market: 19 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
What tenants pay around LA6 3
For renting purposes LA6 3 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.
Against the £251,800 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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 LA
Real sold prices by size across the LA area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £270,000 | £382,995 (+42%) | £550,000 (+44%) | £715,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £175,000 | £200,000 (+14%) | £250,000 (+25%) | £340,000 (+36%) | £492,500 (+45%) |

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
