HD9 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside HD9 (Holmfirth). 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.

In cash terms the typical HD9 1 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £340,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 184%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the HD9 1 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 2026 (+38.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−19.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +38.7% | +35.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.0% | +1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.9% | +3.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
HD9 1 recorded 41 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 152 sales a year before the financial crisis and 91 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market HD9 1 is
This is a thin market: 41 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. 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. Against the HD9 district median, HD9 1 sits 24% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of HD9 1
HD9 1 falls under Kirklees, 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 £340,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.7%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: HD prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the HD area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
