Today's CV2 prices, from the sold record
In the CV2 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £220,000, from 235 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £218,900, sitting nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.
House prices per square metre in CV2
Measured by floor area, the last five years of CV2 sales average about £2,640 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.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so CV2 trades 23% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical CV2 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 153%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 10% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CV2 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 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.6% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 62% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £320,000 against £116,500 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 496 CV2 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 1,227 sales a year before the financial crisis and 560 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around CV2
CV2 falls under Coventry, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£1,017 a month is £12,204 a year, which against the £220,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in CV
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CV area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
