How Main Street, Leyburn prices moved

The chart tracks the median Main Street, Leyburn house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2025. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.

Median of the yearly medians in each decade.

The highest yearly median on record for Main Street, Leyburn is £388,000 in 2022; the lowest is £63,750 in 1995. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £63,750 to £270,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £141,555, so the real change over the whole record is +94.9% — about +2.25% 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: -27.0% in cash against -47.1% 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.

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 Main Street, Leyburn values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Main Street, Leyburn is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

Section 06

Ownership and new build in Main Street, Leyburn

1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 228 freehold — 0.4% 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 £220,000 and the median freehold sale £215,000 — a gap of -2.3%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

CategorySalesShareMedian paid
Leasehold10.4%£220,000
Freehold22899.6%£215,000
New build20.9%£455,000
Existing home22799.1%£215,000
Shares are of the sales used on this page.

New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +111.6%. 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 20 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.

No street-level crime was published for DL8 in Jun 2026. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.

How Main Street, Leyburn compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Main Street, Leyburn sits above that national figure — +36.5%.

Within Leyburn the street ranks 52 of 137 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £200,000 (+7.5%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,430 per square metre, across 11 of the 229 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 £8,848 to £845,000. 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.

Main Street, Leyburn sits in North Yorkshire, in the Yorkshire and The Humber.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in North Yorkshire at 7.9 times median local earnings of £34,785 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

When were Main Street, Leyburn house prices at their highest?

The highest yearly median on record is £388,000, set in 2022. 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 Main Street, Leyburn?

£2,430 per square metre, from the 11 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.
