HX1 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside HX1 (Halifax). 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 HX1 4 home went from £25,000 in 1995 to £95,500 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 76%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 28% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HX1 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 (+60.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−18.5%). 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) | +19.4% | +16.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.2% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.5% |
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 HX1 4
How many homes change hands
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 16 HX1 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 186 sales a year before the financial crisis and 43 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.
Rents around HX1 4
The local authority for HX1 4 is Calderdale, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £750 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £543 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,116, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Calderdale
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £95,500 median purchase price, a rent of £750 a month (£9,000 a year) works out at a 9.4% 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 shape of the HX1 4 market
Only 16 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HX1 4 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. Against the HX1 district median, HX1 4 sits 27% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: HX prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the HX 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £255,000 | £367,500 (+44%) | £510,000 (+39%) | £611,250 (+20%) |
| Semi-detached | £163,000 | £185,000 (+13%) | £240,500 (+30%) | £319,000 (+33%) | £430,000 (+35%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
