City of Kingston upon Hull: the market in figures
The next-to-last position among the 135 areas belongs to Hull, which is also 13th of 13 in Yorkshire and The Humber. Its £136,593 is 34.7% beneath the regional £209,266 and 50% beneath the UK figure of £273,037.
Yet the latest movement is firm. A rise of 6.6% over twelve months compares with 1.8% for the region, and the price is now at the top of its own series, up from £93,997 in 2016. Over the period that is 45.3%, or £42,596. The years 2021 and 2022 did much of the work, with 12.4% and 9.4%. Setbacks were small, with falls of 1.4% (2020), 1.6% (2023) and 0.3% (2025). The gaps with the neighbours listed below remain large even after that rise.
Types show a large spread in relative terms. Flats come to £79,470 and detached houses to £244,807, a difference of £165,337, or 208%. Semi-detached homes sit at £159,857 and terraced homes at £126,645. First-time buyers pay £128,899, which is 5.6% below the all-buyer average.
Stamp Duty Land Tax barely registers at these prices. The usual bill is a mere £232, 0.2% of the price; a first-time buyer owes £0. Only an additional property brings a sizeable sum, £7,062. HM Land Registry charges £100.
Everything around Hull costs more. Doncaster, at £172,770, costs 26.5% more, and North Lincolnshire, at £180,345, costs 32% more. Bassetlaw (£211,488, in the East Midlands) is 54.8% higher, East Riding of Yorkshire (£219,871) 61% higher and York (£311,865) 128.3% higher. Hull's rise of 6.6% over twelve months outpaced all five: Doncaster gained 3.8%, North Lincolnshire 3%, Bassetlaw 2.7%, York 0.7% and East Riding of Yorkshire 0.4%.
Hull logged 2,939 sales in the period that begins in June 2025. A low average therefore does not mean a thin market. Together with the rise of 6.6%, the sales count is a sign of an area where many deals are happening at prices that remain the second-lowest in the set, and where the tax cost of a purchase is small.
