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 89 homes for sale in South Bank is £350,000 (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 £275,000 and £595,000. That is 17% above York. Homes that actually sold in South Bank went for a median £345,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in South Bank rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, but falling over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in South Bank is up 47% over the last 10 years and down 3% 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.
Is South Bank cheaper than York?
No: asking prices in South Bank are typically higher than across York. The median asking price in South Bank is £350,000 against £300k across York: 17% above York. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.
How many homes are for sale in South Bank?
89 homes are on the market in South Bank right now, down 12% since 31 Aug, 10 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.
Are house prices being cut in South Bank?
15 listings in South Bank had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 17% 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 68 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 Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.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 £277,475. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £394,750 across 36 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in South Bank?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in South Bank is £325,000, across 22 current listings.
What is the price per square foot in South Bank?
In South Bank, homes that sold went for a median £397 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £409 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (89 in South Bank), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 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. 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.
