Where Are The Cheapest Places To Live In Yorkshire With An Average House Price Under £100,000?

Trying to get on the property ladder can feel like trying to climb a mountain in flip-flops. You see the dizzying numbers for the average house price across the UK and just... sigh. But what if there were still places where you could buy a home for less than £100,000? And not just any old place, but somewhere in glorious Yorkshire? Well, it turns out there are. Fourteen of them, in fact.

These aren't just fantasy figures; they are real areas where affordable housing is still a thing. But here's the twist: these hidden gems might not stay hidden for long. People are catching on, and in some of these spots, house prices are rising pretty sharpish.

Don't hang about, these prices are on the move

It's a bit of a strange situation. While the property market in many parts of England and Wales has been a bit wobbly, some of the cheapest places to live have seen their house prices shoot up. It's like everyone suddenly got the same memo. Take the coastal area of Loftus and Skinningrove, for example. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the average house price there jumped by a whopping 12.4%. That's a massive leap in just one year. It's a similar story in other spots, with prices in Bransholme Central in Hull rising by 11% and Grangetown seeing an 11.1% increase.

So, while you can still find an absolute bargain, the window of opportunity might be closing. These areas are getting noticed. In two of these neighbourhoods, the average house price is actually below £80,000. To put that into perspective, the UK-wide average is around £272,995. Blimey. You could buy three homes in some parts of Yorkshire for the price of one elsewhere. It shows just how much value is on offer, but with prices rising, these deals might not last forever.

More than just a good price tag

Let's be honest, "cheap" can sometimes make people think "not very nice." But that's not the story here. Many of these places are becoming more popular because they're genuinely great places to live. They offer more than just affordable housing; they boast a fantastic community spirit. For instance, while Loftus and Skinningrove might have been seen as a bit deprived in the past, a lot of work has gone into regenerating the area. Now, residents talk about the brilliant community and having stunning beaches and countryside walks right on their doorstep. A quick search for a Google photo of the coastline there shows you exactly what they mean.

It's the same over in Hull, where places like Bransholme Central are gaining attention for their friendly vibe, green spaces, and good local shops. And in Grangetown, it's the combination of low-cost homes and a strong sense of community that's drawing people in. It seems the secret is out: a good quality of life doesn't have to cost a fortune. These aren't just properties for glossy photo sales brochures; they are real homes in welcoming communities.

Yorkshire's most affordable neighbourhoods revealed

So, where exactly are these bargain spots? Official figures have highlighted 14 neighbourhoods across North, East, South, and West Yorkshire where the average house costs less than £100,000. That's a lot of choice! Here's a look at some of the key areas that made the list of the cheapest places to find a home. These figures show just how much house prices can vary from the national picture.

Neighbourhood	Town/City	Average House Price (March 2025)	Annual Price Change
Orchard Park	Hull	£97,500	+8.0%
Barkerend East	Bradford	£97,500	+3.2%
Bransholme Central	Hull	£96,000	+11.0%
Masbrough & Bradgate	Rotherham	£95,000	-2.6%

Let's break that down a bit. In Orchard Park, Hull, an average house will set you back about £97,500. That price makes it one of the cheapest neighbourhoods in all of England and Wales, and its property values have been steadily rising, with an 8% jump between March 2024 and March 2025. Over in Bradford, the Barkerend East area shares that same price tag of £97,500, though its growth was a bit slower at 3.2%.

Things get even more interesting in Bransholme Central. Not only is the average house price a very tempting £96,000, but it also saw a massive 11% increase in value over the year. It's a clear sign that people are starting to see the appeal of the area.

But it's not always a story of rising prices. In the Masbrough and Bradgate part of Rotherham, the average house actually dropped in price by 2.6% to £95,000. This could present an even bigger opportunity for homebuyers looking for a real bargain. It just goes to show that even within the cheapest places, the market is always changing. For anyone dreaming of their own front door in Yorkshire, these figures, showing prices well under the £100,000 mark, are definitely something to get excited about.
