In cash terms the typical HD7 4 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 135%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2024; the current median sits about 5% below that. Someone who bought at the 2024 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HD7 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 2004 (+27.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−11.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What HD7 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +14.2% | +11.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.7% | −1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.8% | +2.3% |
| 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.
Transaction volumes
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 50 sales completed in HD7 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 191 sales a year before the financial crisis and 106 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 kind of market HD7 4 is
This is a thin market: 50 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.
Rents around HD7 4
HD7 4 falls under Kirklees, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £775 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £578 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,221 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Kirklees
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £225,000 median purchase price, a rent of £775 a month (£9,300 a year) works out at a 4.1% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

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%) |
| 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.
