In cash terms the typical WF1 3 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £264,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 190%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WF1 3 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 (+69.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−19.1%). 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) | +21.3% | +18.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 42 sales completed in WF1 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 168 sales a year before the financial crisis and 86 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around WF1 3
WF1 3 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.
Against the £264,500 median purchase price, a rent of £794 a month (£9,528 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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 kind of market WF1 3 is
Only 42 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WF1 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 32% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

WF1's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 99 homes at the moment, listed by 10 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole WF1 district, not just WF1 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
36% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
- Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England, West Yorkshire
- Tuke Grove, Wakefield, West Yorkshire...
- St. Johns Chase, Wakefield, West York...
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in WF
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WF area, 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 | — | £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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
