In cash terms the typical CB21 4 home went from £72,000 in 1995 to £410,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 162%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 30% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CB21 4 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 1996 (+34.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−12.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CB21 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.2% | −1.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 49 sales completed in CB21 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 154 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around CB21 4
For renting purposes CB21 4 sits in South Cambridgeshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,407 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,009 a month here against £2,149 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, South Cambridgeshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,407 a month is £16,884 a year, which against the £410,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
How CB21 4 trades
Only 49 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CB21 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within CB21, this sector trades 10% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in CB: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CB area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
