In cash terms the typical CF14 2 home went from £52,800 in 1995 to £304,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 165%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 8% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CF14 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 2004 (+21.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CF14 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.5% | −0.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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, 46 sales completed in CF14 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 204 sales a year before the financial crisis and 114 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.
Rents around CF14 2
For renting purposes CF14 2 sits in Cardiff. The ONS average private rent there is £1,157 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £894 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,677 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Cardiff
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £304,500 median sold price, £1,157 a month is £13,884 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.
The shape of the CF14 2 market
This is a thin market: 46 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. Within CF14, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What another bedroom costs in CF
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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
