In cash terms the typical CH66 4 home went from £57,800 in 1995 to £243,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 93%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 27% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CH66 4 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 2017 (+34.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−21.0%). 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 years (since 2025) | −0.8% | −3.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.2% | −5.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
CH66 4 recorded 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 138 sales a year recently, against 162 a year before 2008. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around CH66 4
The local authority for CH66 4 is Cheshire West and Chester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £974 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £712 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,586 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £243,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.8%. 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.
How CH66 4 trades
Only 53 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CH66 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within CH66, this sector trades 8% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

What is for sale in CH66 right now
Turning to what is actually available: 167 homes on the market right now, from 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole CH66 district, not just CH66 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
28% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

- Foxall Way, Great Sutton, Ellesmere P...
- Welsh Road, Little Sutton, Ellesmere Port, 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.

Moving up a bedroom in CH: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CH 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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £145,500 | £158,000 (+9%) | £170,000 (+8%) | £227,500 (+34%) | £310,000 (+36%) |
| Flat | £112,500 | £157,000 (+40%) | £230,000 (+46%) | £335,000 (+46%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
