What CV2 5 homes really sell for
Take the 43 registered 2026 sales in CV2 5 and the middle price, the median, is £233,500. The mean lands at £219,700, beneath it, usually the sign of a batch of very cheap recorded transfers pulling the average lower.
CV2 5 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of CV2 5 sales average about £2,650 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, CV2 5 runs 18% below it.

In cash terms the typical CV2 5 home went from £41,800 in 1995 to £233,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 157%: 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 5% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CV2 5 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 (+24.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CV2 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.6% | −3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.7% | −1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 43 sales completed in CV2 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 217 sales a year before the financial crisis and 106 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.
Reading the CV2 5 market
This is a thin market: 43 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.
What homes rent for around CV2 5
The local authority for CV2 5 is Coventry, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,017 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £757 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,452 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Coventry
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £233,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,017 a month (£12,204 a year) works out at a 5.2% 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.

Are property prices falling in CV2 5 (Wyken)?
Are CV2 5 prices heading up or down?

Moving up a bedroom in CV: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the CV area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £305,000 | £417,995 (+37%) | £650,000 (+56%) | £910,000 (+40%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
