HX4 sold prices: where the market stands
Take the 66 registered 2026 sales in HX4 and the middle price, the median, is £201,000. The mean lands at £242,400, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
House prices per square metre in HX4
The last five years of sales put HX4 at roughly £2,580 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so HX4 trades 29% below the country as a whole.

| 1996 | £56,000 | £118,101 | 281 |
| 1995 | £53,000 | £115,214 | 220 |
In cash terms the typical HX4 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £201,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 74%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 24% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HX4 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 (+26.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−19.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 46% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £475,000 against £190,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −19.6% | −21.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 166 HX4 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 300 sales a year before the financial crisis and 167 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.
The shape of the HX4 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.
What homes rent for around HX4
For renting purposes HX4 sits in Calderdale. The ONS average private rent there is £750 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £201,000 median sold price, £750 a month is £9,000 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Moving up a bedroom in HX: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the HX area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
| 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.
