What a home in OL14 sells for
In the OL14 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £185,000, from 99 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £220,600, sitting 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 OL14
The last five years of sales put OL14 at roughly £2,100 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.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving OL14 35% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical OL14 home went from £36,500 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 133%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2009, and today's median remains roughly 7% under it: a 2009 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the OL14 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 2004 (+41.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−13.8%). 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, 67% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £455,000 against £139,500 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.9% | −1.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 218 OL14 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 365 sales a year before the financial crisis and 241 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.
Reading the OL14 market
Among the 16 measurable districts of its area, OL14 ranks 13 by median price: towards the affordable end.
The rental side of OL14
For renting purposes OL14 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 £185,000 median purchase price, a rent of £750 a month (£9,000 a year) works out at a 4.9% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in OL: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the OL 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 | — | £257,697 | £349,995 (+36%) | £495,000 (+41%) | £620,000 (+25%) |
| Semi-detached | £180,000 | £205,000 (+14%) | £251,000 (+22%) | £320,000 (+27%) | £375,000 (+17%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
