How Dorrington Close, York prices moved
The chart tracks the median Dorrington Close, York house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2018. 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 | 2 | £72,995 | £162,083 |
| 2000s | 7 | £125,000 | £227,713 |
| 2010s | 2 | £170,000 | £239,700 |
The highest yearly median on record for Dorrington Close, York is £188,250 in 2018; the lowest is £65,950 in 2001. Across the full 22-year record the cash median has moved from £72,995 to £188,250.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £154,771, so the real change over the whole record is +62.1% — about +2.33% 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: +7.0% in cash against -18.0% 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.

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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Dorrington Close, York 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 72 | 57.6% | £137,000 | £69,995 – £300,000 |
| Semi-detached | 53 | 42.4% | £114,500 | £49,995 – £230,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Dorrington Close, York
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 125 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 | 125 | 100.0% | £124,995 |
| New build | 37 | 29.6% | £74,995 |
| Existing home | 88 | 70.4% | £154,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -51.5%. 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across East Riding of Yorkshire, 40.2% of 170,039 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 6.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in East Riding of Yorkshire at £724 a month as of Jun 2026 — £502 for a one-bedroom home and £799 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £124,995 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.95% 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.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of YO42, 37 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 19 violent, 2 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 7 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 4.5 times quieter.
Against the 342,215 residents the 2021 census counted in East Riding of Yorkshire, that is 0.11 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Within York the street ranks 3146 of 3670 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £173,000 (-27.7%).

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in East Riding of Yorkshire at 6.4 times median local earnings of £35,020 a year, measured to Sep 2025.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Dorrington Close, York?
The median price paid in Dorrington Close, York across every sale on the register is £124,995. 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 Dorrington Close, York?
125 sales are on record for Dorrington Close, York, the most recent completing on 28 Sep 2023. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Dorrington Close, York house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +7.0% between 2007 and 2018. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -18.0%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Dorrington Close, York house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £188,250, set in 2018. 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 Dorrington Close, York?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 28 Sep 2023. 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.
