In cash terms the typical CF45 3 home went from £28,000 in 1995 to £130,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 114%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the CF45 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 (+42.4% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−15.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +11.3% | +8.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +7.6% | +2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +7.7% | +4.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
How many homes change hands in CF45 3
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 38 sales completed in CF45 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 192 sales a year before the financial crisis and 96 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.
Rents around CF45 3
For renting purposes CF45 3 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 £130,000 median sold price, £748 a month is £8,976 a year, a gross yield of 6.9%: 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 kind of market CF45 3 is
This is a thin market: 38 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. 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.

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
