In cash terms the typical CF81 8 home went from £27,000 in 1995 to £153,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 162%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2024. The market now sits about 6% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CF81 8 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 (+40.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.2%). 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) | +4.4% | +2.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.7% | +1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.3% | +2.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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 CF81 8
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 32 CF81 8 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 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 80 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The shape of the CF81 8 market
This is a thin market: 32 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. 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.
What homes rent for around CF81 8
CF81 8 falls under Caerphilly, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £742 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £548 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,091, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Caerphilly
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £153,500 median sold price, £742 a month is £8,904 a year, a gross yield of 5.8%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in CF: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CF area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £275,000 | £367,000 (+33%) | £550,000 (+50%) | £790,000 (+44%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

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.
