| 1996 | £54,500 | £114,938 | 145 |
| 1995 | £52,700 | £114,562 | 140 |
In cash terms the typical WF4 1 home went from £52,700 in 1995 to £217,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 90%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WF4 1 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 (+28.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2001 (−14.3%). 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) | −1.1% | −3.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in WF4 1
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.
WF4 1 recorded 49 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 162 sales a year before the financial crisis and 88 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.
How WF4 1 trades
Only 49 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WF4 1 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.
Rents around WF4 1
For renting purposes WF4 1 sits in Wakefield. The ONS average private rent there is £794 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £217,500 median sold price, £794 a month is £9,528 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in WF
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WF area, 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.
