House prices per square metre in WF15
Measured by floor area, the last five years of WF15 sales average about £2,440 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

| 1996 | £45,500 | £95,957 | 242 |
| 1995 | £41,800 | £90,867 | 284 |
In cash terms the typical WF15 home went from £41,800 in 1995 to £199,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 120%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2025, and today's median remains roughly 9% under it: a 2025 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WF15 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 (+38.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−10.7%). 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, 40% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £330,000 against £137,500 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.2% | −9.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −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.
Transaction volumes
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.
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.
The register shows 203 WF15 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 357 sales a year before the financial crisis and 210 a year over the last five. 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.
Reading the WF15 market
Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
What tenants pay around WF15
WF15 falls under Kirklees, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Set against the £199,500 median sold price, £775 a month is £9,300 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 21% over five years in cash but down 5% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

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.
