There are too few years of sales in Potters Close, Wakefield to plot a trend line. The figures below are drawn from the whole record rather than a yearly series.

Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Potters Close, Wakefield is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 24 freehold — 0.0% 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Wakefield, 42.4% of 207,299 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 2.6% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Wakefield at £797 a month as of Jun 2026 — £570 for a one-bedroom home and £859 for three bedrooms.

Against the median sale of £247,450 here, that rent is a gross yield of 3.87% 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 WF1, 629 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 244 violent, 16 burglary, 21 vehicle-related and 69 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 3.8 times busier.

Against the 353,368 residents the 2021 census counted in Wakefield, that is 1.78 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.

The 2021 census counted 353,368 residents in Wakefield across 153,075 households. 63.4% of those households own their home and 36.5% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

15 state and independent schools have a WF1 postcode: 10 primary, 2 16 plus, 2 secondary, 1 nursery. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Potters Close, Wakefield sits above that national figure — +57.1%.

Within Wakefield the street ranks 328 of 2147 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £123,000 (+101.2%).

No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.

The full range on record runs from £202,950 to £370,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Potters Close, Wakefield sits in Wakefield, in the Yorkshire and The Humber.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Wakefield at 5.6 times median local earnings of £35,838 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.
