The 9 areas of Leeds where house prices have risen least or fallen, including 2 where that could soon change

One neighbourhood within the city has seen property prices rocket by more than 60% in the last five years.

But at the other end of the scale, there are three areas where values have risen by less than 5% in that time, and another two where prices have fallen - in one case by more than 25%.

They include one of the cheapest places to live in Leeds, where the average house costs £105,000, and two where a typical property will set you back more than £300,000.

While house prices in those areas have stagnated or dropped in recent years, their fortunes could be about to change.

One of the areas, Boston Spa, only this year made the Sunday Times’s list of the best places to live in the North and North East.

Experts raved about the ‘handsome’ village with a ‘thriving’ high street and ‘community spirit aplenty’.

Richmond Hill, meanwhile, is just east of Leeds city, with an easy commute. It is also perfectly placed to benefit from the major regeneration of nearby Quarry Hill, which is home to Leeds Playhouse, among other attractions.

The average house price there is only £137,000, having fallen by 10.2% in the last five years, meaning house-hunters looking there could get excellent value for their money.

Below are the nine places in Leeds where the average house price rose by the smallest percentage, or fell, between September 2019 and September 2024, the latest date for which localised housing statistics are available.

The figures are taken from house price data published by the Office for National Statistics.
