In cash terms the typical BD12 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 103%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 7% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BD12 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 (+26.7% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−11.1%). 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, 44% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £325,000 against £56,000 for a flat, 5.8 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +11.4% | +8.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.7% | +0.9% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +5.7% | +1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Sales activity in BD12
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
BD12 recorded 235 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 419 sales a year before the financial crisis and 236 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
How BD12 trades
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
The rental side of BD12
For renting purposes BD12 sits in Bradford. The ONS average private rent there is £746 a month (May 2026). 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 £185,000 median purchase price, a rent of £746 a month (£8,952 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.

Month by month: when BD12 sells
August is when BD12 changes hands most (10.4% of the 1,401 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 6.4%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

The price of an extra bedroom in BD
Real sold prices by size across the BD area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £195,000 | £223,497 (+15%) | £285,000 (+28%) | £375,000 (+32%) | £486,600 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £150,000 | £160,000 (+7%) | £195,000 (+22%) | £257,000 (+32%) | £315,000 (+23%) |
| Terraced | £107,000 | £137,000 (+28%) | £148,000 (+8%) | £175,000 (+18%) | £190,000 (+9%) |
| Flat | £95,000 | £122,000 (+28%) | £171,000 (+40%) | — | £252,500 |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
