In cash terms the typical CF71 7 home went from £98,000 in 1995 to £445,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 109%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CF71 7 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 (+28.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−11.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CF71 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.3% | −8.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 45 sales completed in CF71 7. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 132 sales a year recently, against 141 a year before 2008. 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.
How CF71 7 trades
This is a thin market: 45 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 homes rent for around CF71 7
CF71 7 falls under Vale of Glamorgan, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £984 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £729 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,485 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£984 a month is £11,808 a year, which against the £445,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.7%. 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.

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.
