In cash terms the typical CF81 9 home went from £27,500 in 1995 to £173,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 190%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the CF81 9 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 2014 (+32.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−22.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +25.7% | +22.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.8% | +1.9% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +8.2% | +3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +8.3% | +4.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 36 sales completed in CF81 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 96 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 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 tenants pay around CF81 9
For renting purposes CF81 9 sits in Caerphilly. The ONS average private rent there is £742 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £548 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,091 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Caerphilly
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £173,500 median sold price, £742 a month is £8,904 a year, a gross yield of 5.1%: 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 CF81 9 is
Only 36 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CF81 9 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. Within CF81, this sector trades 8% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £235,000 | £275,000 (+17%) | £315,997 (+15%) | £389,995 (+23%) | £485,000 (+24%) |

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.
