How The Wolds, Cottingham prices moved
The chart tracks the median The Wolds, Cottingham house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1998 to 2021. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £66,700 | £148,106 |
| 2000s | 1 | £179,000 | £326,085 |
| 2010s | 2 | £155,000 | £218,550 |
| 2020s | 2 | £210,000 | £214,565 |
The highest yearly median on record for The Wolds, Cottingham is £288,000 in 2020; the lowest is £66,700 in 1998. Across the full 24-year record the cash median has moved from £66,700 to £210,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £138,304, so the real change over the whole record is +91.8% — about +2.87% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +17.3% in cash against -16.7% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in The Wolds, Cottingham?

How many homes have sold in The Wolds, Cottingham?

When were The Wolds, Cottingham house prices at their highest?

The latest sale shown here completed on 2 Mar 2026. 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.
