Most expensive neighbourhoods in Yorkshire: These are the areas with the highest property prices in places such as Leeds, York, Sheffield, Bradford, Hull, Scarborough, Wakefield and Harrogate

The cost of living crisis has had a strain on many households resulting in cutbacks on their spending. Anyone who is looking to buy a new home is under a lot of pressure as the Bank of England continues to increase the base rate, forcing prices of mortgages to shoot up.

However, for a lucky few who can afford to splash out on a new property, certain areas of Yorkshire can have what they are looking for, from spacious rooms to the latest mod cons.

Every three months, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) releases highly localised figures showing how average sale prices vary across the suburbs, towns and villages of England and Wales. Latest figures, covering the calendar year 2022, show that Leeds, Harrogate and Sheffield have the most expensive neighbourhoods in Yorkshire to buy a home.

These Yorkshire neighbourhoods also rank in the top 1,000 most expensive neighbourhoods in England and Wales among thousands more. The figures are the median price, and encompass all home types and sizes.
