Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on WF16: few sales, so go in with your eyes open
Only about 12 sales a month sell in WF16, so no single figure here should carry much weight, and the individual sold homes are the better guide.
For sellers, £165,750 is the middle of a £89,900 to £255,000 range, so narrow down to sold homes that match yours before you pick a price; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseWhen buying here, on price, WF16 is well below the UK average, so find out why prices run lower here before deciding it is good value.
Before you offer in WF16, check planning history nearby (753 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,441 a year), and ask your conveyancer about the title.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free WF16 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the Kirklees (WF16) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £242,500 against £68,250 for flats: about 3.6 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Nearly all of these sales (92%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is a quiet district: only about 12 recorded sales a month.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled WF16 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 1 to decile 6, with a median of decile 4 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
WF16 0LE, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 4 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so WF16 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in WF16: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

What it costs to run a home in WF16, band by band
Kirklees's council tax for 2026-27 set against the WF16 median sold price of £165,750 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the WF16 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
