Grimsby & Cleethorpes
Grimsby and Cleethorpes consistently top our affordability rankings — house prices are in the top 15% for value nationally, and the area is drier than most of England. The seafront at Cleethorpes and the regenerating town centre are drawing buyers priced out of Lincolnshire's market towns.
York
North Yorkshire
York is one of the most consistently high-scoring cities in the North — doing well across green space, quiet streets and connectivity. The trade-off is price: York's property market competes with the South East more than the rest of Yorkshire. Our postcode-level data helps buyers find pockets like Clifton and Acomb that offer York's quality at a more accessible price.
Sheffield
South Yorkshire
Sheffield scores above average on connectivity, flood safety and council tax — and it's one of the greenest cities in England with easy access to the Peak District. Property prices vary enormously by neighbourhood. Our data highlights S5 (Hillsborough, Southey) and S20 (Beighton) as the highest-scoring areas on a composite of all factors including affordability.
Kingston upon Hull
East Yorkshire
Hull is one of the best-value cities in England for buyers — house prices rank in the top 9% nationally for affordability. It's also drier and quieter than most people expect. The Fruit Market and Humber Street regeneration have changed the feel of the city, and postcode-level data helps you identify which areas are improving fastest.
East Riding of Yorkshire
Beverley, Driffield & the Yorkshire Wolds
The East Riding stretches from Beverley to Bridlington across the Yorkshire Wolds — scoring well on clean air, low noise and dry weather. Beverley is the most popular address, combining market town character with good rail links. Our street-level data covers every neighbourhood so you can compare objectively rather than by reputation.
