HD3 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside HD3 (Huddersfield). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

| 1995 | £37,000 | £80,432 | 175 |
In cash terms the typical HD3 4 home went from £37,000 in 1995 to £185,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 131%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2006. The market now sits about 7% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HD3 4 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 (+34.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−13.5%). 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) | +6.2% | +3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.1% | +0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
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 86 HD3 4 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 370 sales a year before the financial crisis and 177 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 tenants pay around HD3 4
For renting purposes HD3 4 sits in Kirklees. The ONS average private rent there is £775 a month (May 2026). 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 £185,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.0%. 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.

HD3's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 199 homes at the moment, listed by 11 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole HD3 district, not just HD3 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
46% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
- Mount, Huddersfield, Huddersfield
- Crest Road, Huddersfield, Huddersfield
- Britannia Road, Colne Valley Golcar, Huddersfield, Huddersfield
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.

Bedroom by bedroom: HD prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HD 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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £125,000 | £155,000 (+24%) | £200,000 (+29%) | £255,000 (+27%) | £339,000 (+33%) |
| Flat | £102,000 | £137,000 (+34%) | £192,000 (+40%) | — | — |
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.
