In cash terms the typical HX4 9 home went from £51,500 in 1995 to £210,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 88%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2008; the current median sits about 31% below that. Someone who bought at the 2008 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HX4 9 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 2008 (+48.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−18.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.5% | −6.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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.
How many homes change hands in HX4 9
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
HX4 9 recorded 20 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 113 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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 HX4 9 market
This is a thin market: 20 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What tenants pay around HX4 9
HX4 9 falls under Calderdale, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £750 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £210,000 median purchase price, a rent of £750 a month (£9,000 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.

What another bedroom costs in HX
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HX area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
