In cash terms the typical CF5 6 home went from £99,000 in 1995 to £356,000 in 2026, roughly 3.6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 65%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 37% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CF5 6 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 1996 (+51.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−17.9%). 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) | −6.3% | −8.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.7% | −2.0% |
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
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.
The register shows 52 CF5 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 141 sales a year over the last five years against 88 before the financial crisis. 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.
What kind of market CF5 6 is
Only 52 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CF5 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the CF5 district median, CF5 6 sits 25% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of CF5 6
The local authority for CF5 6 is Vale of Glamorgan, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £984 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £729 a month here against £1,485 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Vale of Glamorgan
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £356,000 median purchase price, a rent of £984 a month (£11,808 a year) works out at a 3.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

What is for sale in CF5 right now
Turning to what is actually available: 123 homes on the market right now, from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CF5 district, not just CF5 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
32% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in CF: the cost
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.
