| 1996 | £26,000 | £54,833 | 287 |
| 1995 | £29,000 | £63,042 | 249 |
In cash terms the typical CV1 home went from £29,000 in 1995 to £151,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 141%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2019; the current median sits about 25% below that. Someone who bought at the 2019 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CV1 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 (+42.7% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−10.3%). 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) | −3.9% | −6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.2% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 64% of the typed total. In 2023, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £395,000 against £140,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Sales activity in CV1
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
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 96 CV1 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 597 sales a year before the financial crisis and 131 a year over the last five. 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.
Rents around CV1
CV1 falls under Coventry, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,017 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £757 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,452, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Coventry
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £151,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,017 a month (£12,204 a year) works out at a 8.0% 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.
How CV1 trades
Only 96 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CV1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. CV1 is currently the cheapest district of its postcode area by median price, which cuts both ways: the lowest entry price, and the least priced-in expectation.

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.

The price of an extra bedroom in CV
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CV area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £305,000 | £417,995 (+37%) | £650,000 (+56%) | £910,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £215,000 | £255,000 (+19%) | £307,000 (+20%) | £425,000 (+38%) | £607,500 (+43%) |
| Terraced | £197,000 | £208,000 (+6%) | £249,000 (+20%) | £378,247 (+52%) | £550,000 (+45%) |
| Flat | £138,000 | £186,000 (+35%) | £370,000 (+99%) | £497,500 (+34%) | — |
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.
