In cash terms the typical HX6 1 home went from £37,500 in 1995 to £160,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 96%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2009; the current median sits about 28% below that. Someone who bought at the 2009 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HX6 1 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 (+31.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−20.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −20.0% | −21.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −0.9% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
HX6 1 recorded 24 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 75 sales a year before the financial crisis and 45 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 rental side of HX6 1
HX6 1 falls under Calderdale, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Set against the £160,000 median sold price, £750 a month is £9,000 a year, a gross yield of 5.6%: 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.
Reading the HX6 1 market
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HX6 1 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 HX6 district median, HX6 1 sits 13% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

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.
| 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
