In cash terms the typical CF14 5 home went from £52,500 in 1995 to £285,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 150%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. 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 5 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 (+26.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−14.1%). 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) | −1.1% | −3.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.3% | +1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +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.
The turnover behind the prices
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 CF14 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 150 sales a year before the financial crisis and 115 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 tenants pay around CF14 5
The local authority for CF14 5 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.
Set against the £285,000 median sold price, £1,157 a month is £13,884 a year, a gross yield of 4.9%: 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.
Reading the CF14 5 market
Only 49 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CF14 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the CF14 district median, CF14 5 sits 14% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in CF
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CF area, 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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £169,000 | £149,000 (-12%) | £190,000 (+28%) | £300,000 (+58%) | £452,500 (+51%) |
| Flat | £140,000 | £180,000 (+29%) | £275,000 (+53%) | £417,500 (+52%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
