Market Overview: HU5
Activity in HU5 over the last twelve months ran to 42 residential sales, giving a workable sample size for median-level analysis. Individual sales ranged from £31k to £260k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
Terraced houses were the most common transaction type, representing 67% of sales, while flats accounted for 17%. A terraced-house majority usually reflects Victorian or Edwardian stock — long runs of three- or four-storey houses that rarely come to market vacant.
The HU5 1AA dataset is a reasonable baseline, but decisions at the individual-property level should still lean on matched comparables rather than the area median alone. On the rental side, the estimated gross yield on a median-priced property here is around 9.4%, based on ONS regional rents.
