| 1996 | £33,200 | £70,017 | 96 |
| 1995 | £31,600 | £68,694 | 106 |
In cash terms the typical HX3 5 home went from £31,600 in 1995 to £156,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 128%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 4% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HX3 5 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 2003 (+42.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2001 (−20.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What HX3 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.3% | +3.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.5% | +3.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 32 HX3 5 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 158 sales a year before the financial crisis and 78 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 tenants pay around HX3 5
The local authority for HX3 5 is Calderdale, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £750 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £543 a month here against £1,116 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Calderdale
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £156,800 median purchase price, a rent of £750 a month (£9,000 a year) works out at a 5.7% 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.
How HX3 5 trades
This is a thin market: 32 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. Within HX3, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

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%) |

| Flat | £101,000 | £137,500 (+36%) | £220,000 (+60%) | — | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
