In cash terms the typical HD7 6 home went from £34,800 in 1995 to £217,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 188%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HD7 6 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 2002 (+60.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.7%). 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) | −2.1% | −4.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.6% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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 HD7 6
How many homes change hands
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, 26 sales completed in HD7 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 103 sales a year before the financial crisis and 54 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.
Reading the HD7 6 market
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HD7 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
What homes rent for around HD7 6
For renting purposes HD7 6 sits in Kirklees. The ONS average private rent there is £775 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £217,500 median sold price, £775 a month is £9,300 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: 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 price of an extra bedroom in HD
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HD area. 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.
