Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on WF6: steady sales, so price from the evidence
WF6 sees about 24 sales a month, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are selling, most WF6 sales sit between £111,800 and £350,000, which makes £186,250 a blunt instrument, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseIf you are buying, typical prices in WF6 sit well below the UK average, so find out why prices run lower here before deciding it is good value.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (581 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,297 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
With averages this broad, the free WF6 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Wakefield (WF6) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £325,000 against £85,000 for flats: about 3.8 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £111,800 and £350,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (95%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 24 recorded sales a month.

These are Wakefield's charges for 2026-27, the authority WF6 falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled WF6 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 10, with a median of decile 4 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
WF6 2FR, 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 WF6 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in WF6: 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 WF6, band by band
Wakefield's council tax for 2026-27 set against the WF6 median sold price of £186,250 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearWakefield | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £186,250 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,531 | £128 | 0.82% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,786 | £149 | 0.96% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,594 | £383 | 2.47% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the WF6 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.
