In cash terms the typical CV31 1 home went from £54,800 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 143%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CV31 1 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 (+29.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CV31 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.8% | −12.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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
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.
CV31 1 recorded 85 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 310 sales a year before the financial crisis and 164 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.
What kind of market CV31 1 is
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What homes rent for around CV31 1
CV31 1 falls under Warwick, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,238 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £881 a month here against £1,906 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Warwick
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £290,000 median sold price, £1,238 a month is £14,856 a year, a gross yield of 5.1%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: CV prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CV area. 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.

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

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
