Sales at the postcodes ONS places in Selby: standard sales of homes at market value. A typical price is the median, the middle sale. Sales take weeks to be registered, so the last month or two are incomplete. Each postcode page gives the figure for its own postcode sector.

Are new homes being built in Selby?

15 of the 492 postcodes now in use in Selby came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 18 of the 298 homes sold in Selby were newly built (6%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the YO8 district, 6%.

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.

Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.

Is Selby at risk of flooding?

465 of the 492 postcodes in Selby have a home or business in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, the Environment Agency says. At those, it puts 1,646 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 465 of 492 postcodes High: 1,363Medium: 283Low: 8,746Very low: 608

High: 3.3% or more a year (1 in 30). Medium: 1% to 3.3% a year. Low: 0.1% to 1% a year. Very low: under 0.1% a year (1 in 1,000). Each band is the chance of flooding in any one year.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, as the Environment Agency counts them, added up over the postcodes. 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.
