In cash terms the typical CF14 1 home went from £58,500 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 175%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CF14 1 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 2002 (+25.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−8.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CF14 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.7% | −6.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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 CF14 1
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
CF14 1 recorded 64 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 202 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around CF14 1
The local authority for CF14 1 is Cardiff, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,157 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £894 a month here against £1,677 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cardiff
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £350,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,157 a month (£13,884 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: CF prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CF area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £275,000 | £367,000 (+33%) | £550,000 (+50%) | £790,000 (+44%) |
| Semi-detached | £190,000 | £217,000 (+14%) | £260,000 (+20%) | £380,000 (+46%) | £530,000 (+39%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
