In cash terms the typical WF1 4 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £163,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 74%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2019. The market now sits about 46% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WF1 4 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 (+75.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−15.1%). 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) | −15.1% | −17.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −6.2% | −10.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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.
How many homes change hands in WF1 4
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
WF1 4 recorded 33 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 160 sales a year before the financial crisis and 100 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.
The shape of the WF1 4 market
Only 33 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WF1 4 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 18% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around WF1 4
WF1 4 falls under Wakefield, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £794 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £567 a month here against £1,200 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Wakefield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £163,000 median purchase price, a rent of £794 a month (£9,528 a year) works out at a 5.8% 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 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%) |

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.
