In cash terms the typical BD16 2 home went from £47,500 in 1995 to £165,000 in 2026, roughly 3.5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 60%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 41% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BD16 2 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 (+39.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−15.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.0% | −9.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.2% | −2.6% |
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.
How many homes change hands in BD16 2
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
BD16 2 recorded 29 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 102 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 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.
What tenants pay around BD16 2
The local authority for BD16 2 is Bradford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £746 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £551 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,112 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Bradford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £165,000 median purchase price, a rent of £746 a month (£8,952 a year) works out at a 5.4% 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.
How BD16 2 trades
Only 29 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BD16 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within BD16, this sector trades 28% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
