| 1995 | £37,500 | £81,519 | 27 |
In cash terms the typical CH66 3 home went from £37,500 in 1995 to £150,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 84%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CH66 3 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 (+29.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−7.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CH66 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.3% | −8.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.2% |
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 CH66 3
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 19 CH66 3 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 78 sales a year before the financial crisis and 53 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 3 market
This is a thin market: 19 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. Within CH66, this sector trades 34% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around CH66 3
For renting purposes CH66 3 sits in Cheshire West and Chester. The ONS average private rent there is £974 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £712 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,586, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £150,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.8%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in CH
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CH area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £248,000 | £350,000 (+41%) | £557,000 (+59%) | £782,500 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £170,000 | £200,000 (+18%) | £245,000 (+23%) | £330,000 (+35%) | £425,000 (+29%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
