In cash terms the typical CB10 2 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £482,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 217%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CB10 2 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2013 (+27.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−4.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.7% | +1.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 45 sales completed in CB10 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 152 sales a year before the financial crisis and 114 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around CB10 2
For renting purposes CB10 2 sits in Uttlesford. The ONS average private rent there is £1,283 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £900 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,028, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Uttlesford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £482,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,283 a month (£15,396 a year) works out at a 3.2% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
How CB10 2 trades
This is a thin market: 45 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.

What another bedroom costs in CB
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CB area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £360,500 | £494,995 (+37%) | £689,000 (+39%) | £979,975 (+42%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
