Seamer market report YO12 7, Scarborough

The standing YO12 7 (Seamer) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 7,891 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in YO12 7 (Scarborough) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: 70 registered 2026 sales put the YO12 7 (Scarborough) median at £155,000, up 15% on five years earlier, with a mean of £163,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,710 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 7,891 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

YO12 7 is one sector of YO12 (Scarborough): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical YO12 7 home went from £39,000 in 1995 to £155,000 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 83%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 27% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

Year-on-year change in the YO12 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 (+29.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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

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.

The register shows 70 YO12 7 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 357 sales a year before the financial crisis and 168 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.

What kind of market YO12 7 is

Against the YO12 district median, YO12 7 sits 16% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

The rental side of YO12 7

YO12 7 falls under North Yorkshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £833 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £582 a month here against £1,333 for four or more bedrooms.

Against the £155,000 median purchase price, a rent of £833 a month (£9,996 a year) works out at a 6.4% 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 YO

Real sold prices by size across the YO 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.

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

The risers and the fallers

The spread across the YO area is the point: the same five years treated these districts very differently.
