In cash terms the typical CF36 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £340,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 161%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CF36 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 (+31.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−11.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £441,200 against £177,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

What CF36 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +6.5% | +4.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +6.0% | +1.5% |

| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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 CF36
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 233 CF36 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 339 sales a year before the financial crisis and 247 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.
Reading the CF36 market
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. CF36 sits 4 of 35 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
What tenants pay around CF36
For renting purposes CF36 sits in Bridgend. The ONS average private rent there is £749 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £552 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,123, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bridgend
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £340,800 median purchase price, a rent of £749 a month (£8,988 a year) works out at a 2.6% 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.
CF36 (Nottage): the questions that come up
Is CF36 (Nottage) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in CF36 (Nottage)?
Are property prices falling in CF36 (Nottage)?
Will CF36 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 23% over five years in cash but down 3% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
The CF36 sales calendar
Take the 1,458 CF36 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: June completions lead with 10.8% of the total, January trails with 6.0%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 88 | 6.0% |
| February | 115 | 7.9% |
| March | 126 | 8.6% |
| April | 105 | 7.2% |
| May | 97 | 6.7% |

What another bedroom costs in CF
Real sold prices by size across the CF area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £235,000 | £275,000 (+17%) | £315,997 (+15%) | £389,995 (+23%) | £485,000 (+24%) |
| Semi-detached | £190,000 | £210,000 (+11%) | £235,000 (+12%) | £310,000 (+32%) | £450,000 (+45%) |
| Terraced | £166,000 | £150,000 (-10%) | £168,000 (+12%) | £250,000 (+49%) | £325,000 (+30%) |
| Flat | £135,500 | £170,000 (+25%) | £240,000 (+41%) | £279,000 (+16%) | £400,000 (+43%) |
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.
