Middlesbrough market commentary
What the latest official data may mean for buyers, renters and investors.
Middlesbrough’s average house price stood at £137,773 in June 2026, according to the UK House Price Index. That is a small rise of 0.1% on May’s £137,658.
Over the year, prices were up 2.0%. The latest reading points to a market that is moving, but only gently.
Middlesbrough’s average private rent stood at £699 in July 2026, according to the ONS Price Index of Private Rents. That is slightly lower than June’s £702, so rents fell by 0.4% month on month.
Even so, the wider picture still points to growth over the year.
Middlesbrough’s latest ONS/Nomis labour-market profile, alongside ASHE 2026 resident earnings, gives a clear snapshot of local spending power and the wider affordability backdrop. The city had a resident population of 152,795 in 2025, so these figures relate to a sizeable urban base rather than a small sample area.
