In cash terms the typical WF1 2 home went from £45,200 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 129%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WF1 2 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 (+34.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.0% | −12.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
WF1 2 recorded 71 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 178 sales a year recently, against 168 a year before 2008. 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.
How WF1 2 trades
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. Within WF1, this sector trades 13% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around WF1 2
WF1 2 falls under Wakefield, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £794 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £567 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,200 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Wakefield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£794 a month is £9,528 a year, which against the £225,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Moving up a bedroom in WF: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WF 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £242,000 | £332,000 (+37%) | £473,725 (+43%) | £650,000 (+37%) |
| Semi-detached | £170,000 | £184,000 (+8%) | £228,000 (+24%) | £282,000 (+24%) | £362,500 (+29%) |

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
