In cash terms the typical CF14 4 home went from £69,000 in 1995 to £370,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 147%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2019. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CF14 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 2003 (+32.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.5% | −9.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in CF14 4
The year-by-year sales count
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 4 recorded 51 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 203 sales a year before the financial crisis and 110 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.
Reading the CF14 4 market
Only 51 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CF14 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the CF14 district median, CF14 4 sits 12% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around CF14 4
The local authority for CF14 4 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 £370,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,157 a month (£13,884 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in CF
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CF 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.
