Underneath every chart here sit 2,183 registered sales in WF4 6 (Wakefield) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents.

Behind the figures sit 2,183 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

WF4 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside WF4 (Wakefield). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

WF4 6 sold prices: where the market stands

Take the 17 registered 2026 sales in WF4 6 and the middle price, the median, is £300,000. The mean lands at £335,500, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.

What a square metre costs in WF4 6

A square metre of WF4 6 home has cost about £2,580 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts WF4 6 5% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical WF4 6 home went from £45,200 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 205%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.

The strongest year on record here is 2026 (+57.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−23.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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.

How many homes change hands in WF4 6

WF4 6 recorded 17 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 80 sales a year before the financial crisis and 53 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.

Rents around WF4 6

The local authority for WF4 6 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.

Against the £300,000 median purchase price, a rent of £794 a month (£9,528 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.

What kind of market WF4 6 is

This is a thin market: 17 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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. Within WF4, this sector trades 30% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
