The 2026 median for BD17 is £250,000, taken from 125 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £285,100, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
What a square metre costs in BD17

In cash terms the typical BD17 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 92%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BD17 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 2003 (+28.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−7.1%). 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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 40% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £450,000 against £95,000 for a flat, 4.7 times the price.

Annualised returns

|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.1% | −9.2% |

| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | 0.0% |
| 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.
Sales activity in BD17
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
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 295 sales completed in BD17. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 456 sales a year before the financial crisis and 260 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.
Rents around BD17
The local authority for BD17 is Bradford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£746 a month is £8,952 a year, which against the £250,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Moving up a bedroom in BD: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BD area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £240,000 | £347,500 (+45%) | £494,995 (+42%) | £673,750 (+36%) |
| Semi-detached | £155,000 | £179,950 (+16%) | £230,000 (+28%) | £302,250 (+31%) | £432,500 (+43%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
