In cash terms the typical YO42 2 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £270,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 139%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2023. The market now sits about 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO42 2 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 (+51.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.2%). 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) | +1.9% | −0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in YO42 2
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 63 YO42 2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 230 sales a year recently, against 271 a year before 2008. 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 tenants pay around YO42 2
YO42 2 falls under East Riding of Yorkshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £721 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £500 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,160 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, East Riding of Yorkshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£721 a month is £8,652 a year, which against the £270,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.2%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Moving up a bedroom in YO: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the YO 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.
