| 1996 | £46,500 | £98,066 | 502 |
| 1995 | £43,000 | £93,475 | 401 |
In cash terms the typical BD22 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £194,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 108%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BD22 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 (+24.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.5%). 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, 49% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £312,800 against £165,500 for a flat, 1.9 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.8% | −1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 428 BD22 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 751 sales a year before the financial crisis and 408 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 BD22
For renting purposes BD22 sits in Bradford. The ONS average private rent there is £746 a month (May 2026). 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 £194,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. 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.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in BD: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BD area. 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%) |

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.
