How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forest Road | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector HD5 8 | £200,000 | £167,500 +19% since | £138,250 +45% since | £118,000 +69% since | £136,500 +47% since |
| Kirklees | £225,000 | £180,000 +25% since | £142,000 +58% since | £125,000 +80% since | £133,000 +69% since |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in HD5 8, over the last five years (1,079 sales):
- What sells: 41% terraced, 35% semi-detached, 16% detached, 5% other, 3% flats.
- 36% sold leasehold, and 1% were new builds.
- 180 sales in the last twelve months, against 322 in the same twelve months five years ago.
