How Thornton Road, York prices moved
The chart tracks the median Thornton Road, York house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2020 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.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020s | 6 | £300,000 | £306,522 |
The highest yearly median on record for Thornton Road, York is £379,050 in 2025; the lowest is £240,000 in 2020. Across the full 6-year record the cash median has moved from £240,000 to £379,050.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £310,744, so the real change over the whole record is +24.6% — about +4.50% 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: +57.9% in cash against +24.6% 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 Thornton Road, York 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. Thornton Road, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 31 | 43.1% | £270,000 | £230,000 – £400,000 |
| Semi-detached | 21 | 29.2% | £327,500 | £261,250 – £405,000 |
| Detached | 20 | 27.8% | £425,000 | £240,000 – £700,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Thornton Road, York
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 72 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 | 72 | 100.0% | £323,750 |
| New build | 63 | 87.5% | £322,500 |
| Existing home | 9 | 12.5% | £345,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -6.5%. 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.
A further 32 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 Thornton Road, York compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Thornton Road, York sits above that national figure — +105.6%.
Within York the street ranks 416 of 3670 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £173,000 (+87.1%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £4,539 per square metre, across 2 of the 72 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 £230,000 to £700,000. 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.

When were Thornton Road, York house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £379,050, set in 2025. 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 Thornton Road, York?

The latest sale shown here completed on 17 Apr 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.
