In cash terms the typical CH3 6 home went from £58,200 in 1995 to £355,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 181%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CH3 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 2002 (+36.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−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) | +9.6% | +7.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.0% | +0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
How many homes change hands in CH3 6
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 47 CH3 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 106 sales a year recently, against 99 a year before 2008. 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 CH3 6 market
This is a thin market: 47 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.
Rents around CH3 6
For renting purposes CH3 6 sits in Cheshire West and Chester. The ONS average private rent there is £974 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £712 a month here against £1,586 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cheshire West and Chester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£974 a month is £11,688 a year, which against the £355,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.3%. 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.

These cover the whole CH3 district, not just CH3 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
32% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
- Church Lane, Guilden Sutton, Chester
- Manor Park, Great Barrow, Chester, CH3
- Nightingale Close, Farndon, Cheshire,...
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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 CH: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CH 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.
