How Long Meadow, Skipton prices moved
The chart tracks the median Long Meadow, Skipton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2015. 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 | £67,250 | £149,327 |
| 2000s | 2 | £78,500 | £143,004 |
| 2010s | 2 | £165,000 | £232,650 |
The highest yearly median on record for Long Meadow, Skipton is £180,000 in 2015; the lowest is £67,250 in 1996. Across the full 20-year record the cash median has moved from £67,250 to £180,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £145,881, so the real change over the whole record is +74.0% — about +2.96% 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: +0.3% in cash against -22.4% 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.

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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Long Meadow, Skipton 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 47 | 62.7% | £164,600 | £56,250 – £344,000 |
| Detached | 26 | 34.7% | £173,000 | £70,000 – £435,000 |
| Terraced | 2 | 2.7% | £78,000 | £78,000 – £103,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Long Meadow, Skipton
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 75 freehold — 0.0% 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 75 | 100.0% | £167,000 |
A further 2 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.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in North Yorkshire at £838 a month as of Jun 2026 — £586 for a one-bedroom home and £929 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £167,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.02% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
No street-level crime was published for BD23 in Jun 2026 by North Yorkshire. 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 Long Meadow, Skipton compares

Within Skipton the street ranks 305 of 547 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £162,000 (+3.1%).

Long Meadow, Skipton 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Long Meadow, Skipton?
The median price paid in Long Meadow, Skipton across every sale on the register is £167,000. 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 Long Meadow, Skipton?

When were Long Meadow, Skipton house prices at their highest?

What is the price per square metre in Long Meadow, Skipton?
£2,489 per square metre, from the 18 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.

The latest sale shown here completed on 11 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.
