Almondbury market report HD5, Huddersfield
The standing HD5 (Almondbury) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 14,403 registered sales in HD5 (Huddersfield) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for HD5 (Huddersfield) is £180,000, from 159 registered sales, up 19% on five years earlier; the mean is £215,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,260 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 14,403 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
HD5 is the postcode district covering Almondbury, Dalton, Kirkheaton in Huddersfield. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

Today's HD5 prices, from the sold record
The HD5 median stands at £180,000 for 2026, built from 159 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £215,300, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
HD5 prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put HD5 at roughly £2,260 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so HD5 trades 37% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical HD5 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £180,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 84%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HD5 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 (+32.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.8%). 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 semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 40% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £360,000 against £82,500 for a flat, 4.4 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in HD5
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
HD5 recorded 339 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 647 sales a year before the financial crisis and 347 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.
The rental side of HD5
The local authority for HD5 is Kirklees, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £775 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £578 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,221, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Kirklees
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £180,000 median sold price, £775 a month is £9,300 a year, a gross yield of 5.2%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in HD: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the HD area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £266,975 | £369,995 (+39%) | £520,000 (+41%) | £700,000 (+35%) |
