In cash terms the typical BD18 3 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £220,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 126%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 11% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BD18 3 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 (+43.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−17.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.1% | +1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
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 register shows 22 BD18 3 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 152 sales a year before the financial crisis and 62 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 BD18 3
The local authority for BD18 3 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.
£746 a month is £8,952 a year, which against the £220,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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.
Reading the BD18 3 market
This is a thin market: 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the BD18 district median, BD18 3 sits 15% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
