| 1996 | £40,000 | £84,358 | 198 |
| 1995 | £40,800 | £88,693 | 154 |
In cash terms the typical WF11 home went from £40,800 in 1995 to £190,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 114%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 5% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WF11 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 (+25.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−10.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.6% | +0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 50% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £242,500 against £146,000 for a flat, 1.7 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 201 sales completed in WF11. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 235 sales a year recently, against 269 a year before 2008. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of WF11
WF11 falls under Wakefield, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £794 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £567 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,200, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wakefield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £190,000 median purchase price, a rent of £794 a month (£9,528 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in WF
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WF area. 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.
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
