In cash terms the typical WF10 2 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £177,000 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. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WF10 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 2002 (+39.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−23.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WF10 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.3% | −6.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −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.
Sales activity in WF10 2
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 48 WF10 2 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 158 sales a year before the financial crisis and 110 a year over the last five. 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.
Reading the WF10 2 market
Only 48 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WF10 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
The rental side of WF10 2
WF10 2 falls under Leeds, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,134 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £774 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,677, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Leeds
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £177,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,134 a month (£13,608 a year) works out at a 7.7% 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.

WF10's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 158 homes currently on the market from 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

Bedroom by bedroom: WF prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the WF 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 | — | £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%) |
| Terraced | £125,000 | £144,000 (+15%) | £171,000 (+19%) | £225,250 (+32%) | £291,000 (+29%) |
| Flat | £92,500 | £125,000 (+35%) | £165,000 (+32%) | — | — |
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.
