In cash terms the typical CF43 3 home went from £17,200 in 1995 to £87,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 134%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2025. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CF43 3 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 (+52.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−18.4%). 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) | −11.6% | −13.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.0% | +2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −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.
Sales activity in CF43 3
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.
The register shows 21 CF43 3 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 109 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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.
Rents around CF43 3
CF43 3 falls under Rhondda Cynon Taf, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Set against the £87,500 median sold price, £748 a month is £8,976 a year, a gross yield of 10.3%: 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.
The shape of the CF43 3 market
This is a thin market: 21 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. 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. Within CF43, this sector trades 16% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Bedroom by bedroom: CF prices by size
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.
