In cash terms the typical WF14 9 home went from £54,500 in 1995 to £242,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 104%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WF14 9 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 (−15.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WF14 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.2% | −5.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.4% | −0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 50 sales completed in WF14 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 175 sales a year before the financial crisis and 108 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 kind of market WF14 9 is
Only 50 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WF14 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What homes rent for around WF14 9
The local authority for WF14 9 is Kirklees, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £775 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £578 a month here against £1,221 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Kirklees
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £242,000 median purchase price, a rent of £775 a month (£9,300 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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. 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%) |

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.
