In cash terms the typical WF4 5 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £224,000 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 72%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WF4 5 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 (+45.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−24.2%). 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) | +5.4% | +2.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.8% | −1.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −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 5
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 register shows 34 WF4 5 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 151 sales a year before the financial crisis and 63 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.
The shape of the WF4 5 market
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WF4 5 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 5
The local authority for WF4 5 is Wakefield, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £794 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £567 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,200 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Wakefield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £224,000 median sold price, £794 a month is £9,528 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: 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.

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.
Moving up a bedroom in WF: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the WF area, straight 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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
