How HD1 2 prices moved
There are too few years of sales in HD1 2 to plot a trend line. The figures below are drawn from the whole record rather than a yearly series.
Section 02
The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Section 03
Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to HD1 2 values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. HD1 2 is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 27 | 55.1% | £100,000 | £12,500 – £370,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 8 | 16.3% | £45,000 | £35,000 – £108,000 |
| Detached | 7 | 14.3% | £195,000 | £75,000 – £475,000 |
| Semi-detached | 7 | 14.3% | £162,500 | £15,000 – £1,175,000 |
Section 05
How big homes are in HD1 2
Energy Performance Certificates record a floor area for every home that has been surveyed, sold or let — far more homes than have changed hands. 101 certificates cover HD1 2, and their median floor area is 41 m².
The median across the whole register is 76 m², so homes here are smaller than average — -46.1%. Size explains a large part of why one area's median price sits above another's, which is why the price per square metre further up this page is the fairer comparison.
| Measure | Floor area | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| Median floor area | 41 m² | about 441 sq ft |
| Smaller quarter, up to | 35 m² | about 377 sq ft |
| Larger quarter, from | 47 m² | about 506 sq ft |
| Under 60 m² | 90.1% | 91 homes |
| 150 m² and over | 1.0% | 1 homes |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in HD1 2
37 of the sales on record are leasehold and 12 freehold — 75.5% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £108,000 and the median freehold sale £97,500 — a gap of -9.7%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 37 | 75.5% | £108,000 |
| Freehold | 12 | 24.5% | £97,500 |
| New build | 1 | 2.0% | £156,250 |
| Existing home | 48 | 98.0% | £97,875 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +59.6%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 114 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.
Section 09
How HD1 2 compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. HD1 2 sits below that national figure — -36.5%.
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,117 per square metre, across 7 of the 49 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £12,500 to £1,175,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in HD1 2?
The median price paid in HD1 2 across every sale on the register is £100,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in HD1 2?
49 sales are on record for HD1 2, the most recent completing on 31 Jul 2020. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have HD1 2 house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +21.1% between 2006 and 2011. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +4.2%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were HD1 2 house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £115,000, set in 2011. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in HD1 2?
£1,117 per square metre, from the 7 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 31 Jul 2020. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
