Are new homes being built in Hemsworth?

17 of the 271 postcodes now in use in Hemsworth came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 11 of the 153 homes sold in Hemsworth were newly built (7%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the WF9 district, 7%.

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 5 of 271 postcodes Medium: 7Low: 13

It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.
