In cash terms the typical YO12 4 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £197,500 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 82%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the YO12 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 (+39.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2005 (−9.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.8% | +4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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.
How many homes change hands in YO12 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.
The register shows 70 YO12 4 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 261 sales a year before the financial crisis and 152 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.
The rental side of YO12 4
For renting purposes YO12 4 sits in North Yorkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £833 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £582 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,333 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, North Yorkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £197,500 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 5.1% 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.

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.
Bedroom by bedroom: YO prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the YO area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £270,746 | £362,000 (+34%) | £546,000 (+51%) | £702,500 (+29%) |
| Semi-detached | £190,000 | £220,000 (+16%) | £269,950 (+23%) | £370,000 (+37%) | £445,000 (+20%) |
| Terraced | £182,000 | £210,000 (+15%) | £242,500 (+15%) | £318,000 (+31%) | £427,850 (+35%) |
| Flat | £135,000 | £180,000 (+33%) | £254,750 (+42%) | £300,000 (+18%) | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

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.
