In cash terms the typical CF31 5 home went from £70,000 in 1998 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 112%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 11% 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 CF31 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 2003 (+24.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.4%). 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) | +2.6% | +0.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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, 37 sales completed in CF31 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 289 sales a year before the financial crisis and 72 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 CF31 5 trades
This is a thin market: 37 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. Against the CF31 district median, CF31 5 sits 33% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around CF31 5
The local authority for CF31 5 is Bridgend, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £749 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £552 a month here against £1,123 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bridgend
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£749 a month is £8,988 a year, which against the £300,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Of everything listed here, 21% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

Bedroom by bedroom: CF prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the CF 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £275,000 | £367,000 (+33%) | £550,000 (+50%) | £790,000 (+44%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
