What a home in BD sells for
2,875 sales were registered in BD in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £190,000. The mean works out at £220,100, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
House prices per square metre in BD
By floor space, homes in BD have sold for about £2,280 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.

Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

| 1996 | £43,000 | £90,685 | 8,974 |
| 1995 | £41,500 | £90,215 | 8,095 |
In cash terms the typical BD home went from £41,500 in 1995 to £190,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 111%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BD median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+24.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−4.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £369,000 against £112,000 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

| Type | Median (2026) | Sales that year | All-time sales |

| Semi-detached | £207,500 | 1,079 | 99,346 |
| Terraced | £159,000 | 1,162 | 124,275 |
| Flats | £112,000 | 187 | 19,372 |
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
BD recorded 6,269 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 13,469 sales a year before the financial crisis and 6,692 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of BD
BD falls under Bradford, the local authority covering most of the BD area, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £746 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £551 a month here against £1,112 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bradford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £190,000 median purchase price, a rent of £746 a month (£8,952 a year) works out at a 4.7% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

What another bedroom costs in BD
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BD area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
