In cash terms the typical CF43 home went from £18,000 in 1995 to £104,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 166%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the CF43 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 (+42.5% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−16.7%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 93% of the typed total. In 2015, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £130,000 against £60,000 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in CF43
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 119 CF43 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 235 sales a year before the financial crisis and 132 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.
What tenants pay around CF43
The local authority for CF43 is Rhondda Cynon Taf, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £748 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £524 a month for a typical one-bed to £991 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £104,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 8.6%. 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.
How CF43 trades
Only 119 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CF43 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. CF43 is currently the cheapest district of its postcode area by median price, which cuts both ways: the lowest entry price, and the least priced-in expectation.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
