Are new homes being built in Hornsea?

11 of the 248 postcodes now in use in Hornsea came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 25 of the 199 homes sold in Hornsea were newly built (13%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the HU18 district, 21%.

It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.
