In cash terms the typical CH66 1 home went from £42,600 in 1995 to £191,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 106%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2008; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2008 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CH66 1 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 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−14.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CH66 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.1% | −4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.6% |
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.
How many homes change hands in CH66 1
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, 39 sales completed in CH66 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 133 sales a year before the financial crisis and 96 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.
The shape of the CH66 1 market
Only 39 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CH66 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the CH66 district median, CH66 1 sits 15% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of CH66 1
The local authority for CH66 1 is Cheshire West and Chester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £974 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Against the £191,000 median purchase price, a rent of £974 a month (£11,688 a year) works out at a 6.1% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: CH prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the CH area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

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.
