Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on HG5: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead

HG5 is neither busy nor quiet, at about 23 sales a month, enough to learn from, though the year-on-year comparison is too thin to quote, so lean on the recent sold homes.

For sellers, detached homes typically sold for £490,000 against £160,000 for flats, which explains a spread of £186,450 to £681,500, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.

Sell house

When buying here, typical prices in HG5 sit above the UK average, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.

Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (354 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,544 a year); your conveyancer should look at the title too.

Where the numbers are this loose, the free HG5 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English

What the North Yorkshire (HG5) numbers mean

  • The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £490,000 against £160,000 for flats: about 3.1 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
  • Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £186,450 and £681,500, so the median says little about any one home.
  • This is an active district: about 23 recorded sales a month.

That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row.

North Yorkshire's council tax for 2026-27 set against the HG5 median sold price of £350,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the HG5 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.

Questions, answered

The HG5 report: your questions

What is the average house price in HG5?
The typical (median) sold price in HG5 is £350,000, from 250 recorded sales between 22 September 2025 and 21 August 2026. Most sales fell between £186,450 and £681,500. That is above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index averages). A median is the middle sale, so a few very expensive homes do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.
What does each type of home cost in HG5?
Typical sold prices by type in HG5: detached homes £490,000 (89 sales), semi-detached homes £325,000 (89 sales), terraced homes £260,000 (47 sales), flats £160,000 (17 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.
How much is council tax in HG5?
HG5 is billed by North Yorkshire, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,544 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band. Look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near HG5?
The Department for Education's register lists 8 open schools within 3 km of the HG5 district centre, the nearest being Meadowside Academy (last Ofsted grade: Good). These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid. They are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
How up to date are the HG5 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 28 August 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Is HG5 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 HG5 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 6 to decile 10, with a median of decile 10 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like HG5 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near HG5?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 354 applications within 500 m of the HG5 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.
Can I see what an individual address in HG5 sold for?
Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 247 distinct addresses in the records we hold for HG5, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.
Does HG5 cover my exact street?
HG5 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges, not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
