How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wellgate | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector WF10 4 | £135,750 | £107,250 +27% since | £85,000 +60% since | £80,000 +70% since | £90,500 +50% 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 WF10 4, over the last five years (883 sales):
- What sells: 55% terraced, 26% semi-detached, 12% detached, 4% flats, 3% other.
- 4% sold leasehold.
- 153 sales in the last twelve months, against 232 in the same twelve months five years ago.
