In cash terms the typical WF13 home went from £36,500 in 1995 to £140,000 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 76%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 31% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WF13 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 (+36.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 48% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £260,000 against £83,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.5% |
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 WF13
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
WF13 recorded 155 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 531 sales a year before the financial crisis and 171 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.
The rental side of WF13
For renting purposes WF13 sits in Kirklees. The ONS average private rent there is £775 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £578 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,221 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Kirklees
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £140,000 median purchase price, a rent of £775 a month (£9,300 a year) works out at a 6.6% 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.
How WF13 trades
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. WF13 is currently the cheapest district of its postcode area by median price, which cuts both ways: the lowest entry price, and the least priced-in expectation.

The price of an extra bedroom in WF
Real sold prices by size across the WF area, straight 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.

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.
