| 1996 | £32,500 | £68,541 | 241 |
| 1995 | £33,000 | £71,737 | 223 |
In cash terms the typical CF47 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £130,000 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 81%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2024, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2024 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CF47 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 (+37.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.8%). 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, 65% of the typed total. In 2023, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £291,200 against £63,000 for a flat, 4.6 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.5% | −9.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
CF47 recorded 129 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 310 sales a year before the financial crisis and 180 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 kind of market CF47 is
Only 129 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CF47 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. Among the 35 measurable districts of its area, CF47 ranks 31 by median price: towards the affordable end.
The rental side of CF47
For renting purposes CF47 sits in Merthyr Tydfil. The ONS average private rent there is £754 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £553 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,092 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Merthyr Tydfil
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £130,000 median sold price, £754 a month is £9,048 a year, a gross yield of 7.0%: 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 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. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £275,000 | £367,000 (+33%) | £550,000 (+50%) | £790,000 (+44%) |
| Semi-detached | £190,000 | £217,000 (+14%) | £260,000 (+20%) | £380,000 (+46%) | £530,000 (+39%) |

| Flat | £140,000 | £180,000 (+29%) | £275,000 (+53%) | £417,500 (+52%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
