Wyken market report CV2 1, Coventry

The CV2 1 (Wyken) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 3,486 registered sales in CV2 1 (Coventry) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: the 2026 median for CV2 1 (Coventry) is £210,000, from 24 registered sales, up 7% on five years earlier; the mean is £206,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,480 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 3,486 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

A postcode sector like CV2 1 is a single group of streets within CV2 (Coventry), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

Today's CV2 1 prices, from the sold record

In the CV2 1 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £210,000, from 24 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £206,000, sitting nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.

CV2 1 prices by floor area

Per square metre, CV2 1 homes have averaged around £2,480 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, CV2 1 runs 26% below it.

In cash terms the typical CV2 1 home went from £32,500 in 1995 to £210,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 197%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+32.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−14.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Annualised returns

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.

The turnover behind the prices

The register shows 24 CV2 1 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 122 sales a year before the financial crisis and 83 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 CV2 1

For renting purposes CV2 1 sits in Coventry. The ONS average private rent there is £1,017 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £757 a month here against £1,452 for four or more bedrooms.

Set against the £210,000 median sold price, £1,017 a month is £12,204 a year, a gross yield of 5.8%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Reading the CV2 1 market

This is a thin market: 24 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. 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.

Common questions on CV2 1 (Wyken)

Where do CV2 1 prices go next?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 7% over five years in cash but down 16% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
