Cottingham property market: common questions

Where is Cottingham?

Cottingham is in East Riding of Yorkshire. Figures for Cottingham cover listings within about 2.0 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

What is the average house price in Cottingham?

The median asking price across the 100 homes for sale in Cottingham is £270,000 (as of 4 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £183,750 and £375,000. That is 23% above East Riding of Yorkshire. Homes that actually sold in Cottingham went for a median £237,500 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Cottingham is up 42% over the last 10 years and up 6% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

No: asking prices in Cottingham are typically higher than across East Riding of Yorkshire. The median asking price in Cottingham is £270,000 against £220k across East Riding of Yorkshire: 23% above East Riding of Yorkshire.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (100 in Cottingham), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Cottingham cover listings within about 2.0 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
  • Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Cottingham since May 2026.
  • East Riding of Yorkshire comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
  • Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
