House prices in Leeds have continued to rise, despite stagnating elsewhere in Yorkshire and the Humber.
The average house price in Leeds now stands at £244,000, according to the latest data from the Office for National Statistics, having risen by 2.3% in the year to March 2026.
But while most people look at average house prices to see how affordable an area is, that doesn’t always reflect how much house you’re actually getting for your money.
In some areas, the average property size is much smaller, meaning you’re getting fewer inches of floor space per pound, while in other places, the reverse is true.
