In cash terms the typical BD5 home went from £29,000 in 1995 to £120,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 90%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BD5 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 (+42.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.0%). 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, 69% of the typed total. In 2023, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £315,000 against £57,000 for a flat, 5.5 times the price.

| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.3% | +1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.7% |
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.
How many homes change hands in BD5
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 128 sales completed in BD5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 548 sales a year before the financial crisis and 170 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 homes rent for around BD5
The local authority for BD5 is Bradford, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £746 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £551 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,112, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bradford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £120,000 median sold price, £746 a month is £8,952 a year, a gross yield of 7.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
The shape of the BD5 market
This is a thin market: 128 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. 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. Among the 24 measurable districts of its area, BD5 ranks 23 by median price: towards the affordable end.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 41% over five years in cash and up 12% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

What another bedroom costs in BD
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BD area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| 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%) |

| Flat | £97,500 | £130,000 (+33%) | £189,975 (+46%) | — | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
