In cash terms the typical CH66 home went from £54,500 in 1995 to £226,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 91%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CH66 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 (+23.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−4.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 49% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £325,000 against £105,500 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.6% | −0.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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
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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 410 CH66 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 658 sales a year before the financial crisis and 458 a year over the last five. 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.
The rental side of CH66
For renting purposes CH66 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 £226,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.2%. 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.

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.

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
