In cash terms the typical CF42 home went from £25,000 in 1995 to £120,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 121%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CF42 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 (+37.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−18.8%). 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) | −4.0% | −6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.7% | +3.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 87% of the typed total.

The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 138 CF42 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 257 sales a year before the financial crisis and 153 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
How CF42 trades
Only 138 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CF42 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. In its area's price order CF42 comes 34 of 35, towards the cheaper end of the table.
What homes rent for around CF42
For renting purposes CF42 sits in Rhondda Cynon Taf. The ONS average private rent there is £748 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £120,000 median sold price, £748 a month is £8,976 a year, a gross yield of 7.5%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in CF
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CF area. 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.

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
