| 1996 | £59,000 | £124,428 | 297 |
| 1995 | £59,000 | £128,257 | 214 |
In cash terms the typical YO42 home went from £59,000 in 1995 to £285,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 122%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the YO42 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 (+52.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.0% | −7.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 50% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £410,000 against £148,800 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Sales activity in YO42
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 last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 237 YO42 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 311 sales a year recently, against 380 a year before 2008. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The rental side of YO42
For renting purposes YO42 sits in East Riding of Yorkshire. The ONS average private rent there is £721 a month (May 2026). 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 £285,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in YO
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.
| 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%) |

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.
