Airedale market report WF10 4, Castleford
The WF10 4 (Airedale) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,823 sales registered with HM Land Registry in WF10 4 (Castleford) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 60 registered 2026 sales put the WF10 4 (Castleford) median at £173,500, up 33% on five years earlier, with a mean of £189,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,070 per square metre over the last five years.

In cash terms the typical WF10 4 home went from £36,500 in 1995 to £173,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 119%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2006, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2006 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WF10 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 2002 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−20.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WF10 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +9.8% | +7.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.9% | +1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in WF10 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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 60 sales completed in WF10 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 294 sales a year before the financial crisis and 119 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.
What homes rent for around WF10 4
For renting purposes WF10 4 sits in Wakefield. The ONS average private rent there is £794 a month (May 2026). 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.
£794 a month is £9,528 a year, which against the £173,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in WF
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WF area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
