I'm afraid I think you won't be able to sell, at a price you can take. The Nationwide House Price calculator says:

A property located in Yorkshire & Humberside which was valued at £118000 in Q4 of 2007, would be worth approximately £104431 in Q3 of 2010.[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]This is equivalent to a change of -11.5%.[/FONT] And yours was new, too, there's generally a loss on a newbuild right away.
The Land Registry has a similar view of Kingston-upon-Hull and the East Riding (says your postcode's near both)...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0
