In cash terms the typical WF13 3 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £131,500 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 83%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 30% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WF13 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 (+36.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−20.1%). 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) | −9.3% | −11.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.6% | −0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
WF13 3 recorded 30 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 200 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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 WF13 3 market
Only 30 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WF13 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
Rents around WF13 3
For renting purposes WF13 3 sits in Kirklees. The ONS average private rent there is £775 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £578 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,221, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Kirklees
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £131,500 median purchase price, a rent of £775 a month (£9,300 a year) works out at a 7.1% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in WF: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WF area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £242,000 | £332,000 (+37%) | £473,725 (+43%) | £650,000 (+37%) |
