In cash terms the typical CB22 4 home went from £74,800 in 1995 to £369,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 127%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2019. The market now sits about 38% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CB22 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 1999 (+26.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−20.4%). 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) | −20.4% | −22.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.3% | −6.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.1% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in CB22 4
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
CB22 4 recorded 12 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 92 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 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.
How CB22 4 trades
Only 12 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CB22 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within CB22, this sector trades 14% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around CB22 4
For renting purposes CB22 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.
Set against the £369,000 median sold price, £1,407 a month is £16,884 a year, a gross yield of 4.6%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Moving up a bedroom in CB: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the CB area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

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