What a home in HD sells for
Take the 1,392 registered 2026 sales in HD and the middle price, the median, is £220,400. The mean lands at £252,300, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
HD prices by floor area
By floor space, homes in HD have sold for about £2,530 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, HD runs 23% below it.

| 1996 | £46,000 | £97,012 | 3,990 |
| 1995 | £45,000 | £97,823 | 3,637 |
In cash terms the typical HD home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £220,400 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 125%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HD 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 (+31.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−3.7%). 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, 41% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £389,000 against £112,800 for a flat, 3.4 times the price.

What HD has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.7% | −3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Sales activity in HD
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.
HD recorded 3,061 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 5,843 sales a year before the financial crisis and 3,318 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.
What homes rent for around HD
HD falls under Kirklees, the local authority covering most of the HD area, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £775 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £578 a month here against £1,221 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Kirklees
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£775 a month is £9,300 a year, which against the £220,400 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.
HD (Huddersfield): the questions that come up
Are property prices falling in HD (Huddersfield)?
Is HD (Huddersfield) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in HD (Huddersfield)?
Are HD prices heading up or down?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 15% over five years in cash but down 9% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What is for sale in HD right now
Everything above is what homes in HD sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 1,202 homes on the market right now, from 11 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 22% below the HD median sold price.
Of everything listed here, 36% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

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.
What another bedroom costs in HD
What homes of each size actually sold for across the HD 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 | — | £266,975 | £369,995 (+39%) | £520,000 (+41%) | £700,000 (+35%) |
| Semi-detached | £178,000 | £198,000 (+11%) | £255,000 (+29%) | £322,500 (+26%) | £410,000 (+27%) |

| Flat | £102,000 | £137,000 (+34%) | £192,000 (+40%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
