South Bank property market: common questions

Where is South Bank?

South Bank is in central York, in North Yorkshire. Figures for South Bank cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

What is the average house price in South Bank?

The median asking price across the 103 homes for sale in South Bank is £350,000 (as of 20 August 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 £277,475 and £527,500. That is 17% above York. Homes that actually sold in South Bank went for a median £335,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to December 2025).

How many homes are for sale in South Bank?

Are house prices being cut in South Bank?

16 listings in South Bank had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 16% of the homes currently for sale.

How long are homes on the market in South Bank?

Of the South Bank listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 53 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.

How much do flats and houses cost in South Bank?

The median asking price for a flat in South Bank is £302,500; for a house it is £375,000. Use the property type and bedroom filters on this page for a finer cut.

In South Bank, homes that sold went for a median £400 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £392 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (103 in South Bank), refreshed daily, as of 20 August 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for South Bank cover listings within about 1 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 South Bank since September 2025.
  • York comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of York, 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 for the 12 months to December 2025 (the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered), with floor areas from EPC certificates. England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
