June’s data shows a Huddersfield housing market offering relative affordability, with gently rising sale prices and a steadier rental scene than the previous year’s surge.
Sales market
Between June 2024 and May 2025 the Huddersfield postcode area saw approximately 3,100 property sales, an 11% year-on-year decline. The average property price stood at around £240,000. In the Kirklees area the average house price in May 2025 was £201,000, up 8.2% year-on-year, with first-time buyers paying on average £173,000. Local sale prices remain significantly lower than the England & Wales average of about £353,000, keeping Huddersfield relatively affordable, while scarce new-build stock maintains a premium.
Rental market
Official data recorded the average monthly private rent in Kirklees at £691, virtually unchanged (+0.1%) on the year. Regionally, Yorkshire & the Humber rents grew just 3.5% (among the slowest in England) though some Huddersfield neighbourhoods show stronger local growth.
The takeaway
Buyers benefit from attractive pricing versus national averages but should act sooner rather than later, as limited new-build supply may edge prices higher. Sellers can expect sale-to-list ratios around 98.5%. Whether relocating, downsizing or upsizing, we offer reliable packing, removals and storage across West Yorkshire.
