What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Alexandra Close, Sowerby Bridge is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 21 | 50.0% | £55,000 | £23,500 – £188,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Alexandra Close, Sowerby Bridge
23 of the sales on record are leasehold and 19 freehold — 54.8% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £46,000 and the median freehold sale £117,000 — a gap of +154.3%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 23 | 54.8% | £46,000 |
| Freehold | 19 | 45.2% | £117,000 |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Calderdale at £752 a month as of Jun 2026 — £545 for a one-bedroom home and £812 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £65,356 here, that rent is a gross yield of 13.81% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of HX6, 61 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 23 violent, 4 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 4 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.7 times quieter.
Against the 206,631 residents the 2021 census counted in Calderdale, that is 0.30 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
