The most expensive streets in York
York's priciest addresses, ranked by median sold price over the last five years — from HM Land Registry records, not asking prices. Every street links to its full sale-by-sale history.
The Purey Cust tops the table at a £1,500,000 median (top recorded sale: £5,100,000) — about 4.9× the £304,048 median for York as a whole. Field Lane and Bootham follow at £980,000 and £975,000. Each row links to the street's own page, with every recorded sale behind the figure.
Median sold price per street over the last five years, HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (standard market sales; streets with at least 5 recorded sales). £/m² is the street's median of sold price ÷ EPC floor area, shown where at least three sales match an EPC — the like-for-like measure that separates big homes from expensive ones. Street-level medians move with what happens to sell — treat them as a robust guide, not a valuation of any home.
