CHURCH VILLAGE market report CF38 1, Pontypridd
The standing CF38 1 (CHURCH VILLAGE) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 4,998 registered sales in CF38 1 (Pontypridd) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 69 registered 2026 sales put the CF38 1 (Pontypridd) median at £245,000, up 15% on five years earlier, with a mean of £267,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,800 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,998 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
CF38 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside CF38 (Pontypridd). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

House prices per square metre in CF38 1
Measured by floor area, the last five years of CF38 1 sales average about £2,800 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

In cash terms the typical CF38 1 home went from £57,800 in 1995 to £245,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 95%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CF38 1 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 2002 (+61.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−11.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CF38 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.6% | −10.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
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.
CF38 1 recorded 69 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 208 sales a year before the financial crisis and 110 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.
The rental side of CF38 1
The local authority for CF38 1 is Rhondda Cynon Taf, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £748 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £524 a month here against £991 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Rhondda Cynon Taf
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£748 a month is £8,976 a year, which against the £245,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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.

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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
