In cash terms the typical WF4 4 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 84%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 32% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the WF4 4 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 2000 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−17.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −17.8% | −19.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
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
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 4 recorded 43 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 171 sales a year before the financial crisis and 94 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 4 trades
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WF4 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 homes rent for around WF4 4
WF4 4 falls under Wakefield, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £794 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £567 a month here against £1,200 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Wakefield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £220,000 median purchase price, a rent of £794 a month (£9,528 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: WF prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WF area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £242,000 | £332,000 (+37%) | £473,725 (+43%) | £650,000 (+37%) |
| Semi-detached | £170,000 | £184,000 (+8%) | £228,000 (+24%) | £282,000 (+24%) | £362,500 (+29%) |
| Terraced | £125,000 | £144,000 (+15%) | £171,000 (+19%) | £225,250 (+32%) | £291,000 (+29%) |
| Flat | £92,500 | £125,000 (+35%) | £165,000 (+32%) | — | — |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
