In cash terms the typical WF4 2 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £175,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 101%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2025; the current median sits about 17% below that. Someone who bought at the 2025 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WF4 2 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 1997 (+37.9% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−17.5%). 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) | −15.5% | −17.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.3% | +0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 25 sales completed in WF4 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 152 sales a year before the financial crisis and 72 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.
What tenants pay around WF4 2
The local authority for WF4 2 is Wakefield, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £794 a month (May 2026 figures). 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 £175,000 median sold price, £794 a month is £9,528 a year, a gross yield of 5.4%: 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 kind of market WF4 2 is
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WF4 2 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. Within WF4, this sector trades 24% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

WF4's current homes for sale

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.

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

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
