What a square metre costs in HX1

In cash terms the typical HX1 home went from £30,000 in 1995 to £130,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 99%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2006. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HX1 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 2005 (+49.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−10.2%). 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) | +15.0% | +12.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +7.4% | +2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.7% | +2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 74% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £362,500 against £107,500 for a flat, 3.4 times the price.

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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
HX1 recorded 178 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 653 sales a year before the financial crisis and 198 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 HX1 market
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. HX1 is currently the cheapest district of its postcode area by median price, which cuts both ways: the lowest entry price, and the least priced-in expectation.
The rental side of HX1
For renting purposes HX1 sits in Calderdale. The ONS average private rent there is £750 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £543 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,116 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Calderdale
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £130,000 median purchase price, a rent of £750 a month (£9,000 a year) works out at a 6.9% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: HX prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the HX 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £255,000 | £367,500 (+44%) | £510,000 (+39%) | £611,250 (+20%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
