In cash terms the typical CV31 2 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £315,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 154%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CV31 2 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 (+31.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−5.9%). 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) | −3.4% | −5.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 74 sales completed in CV31 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 251 sales a year before the financial crisis and 141 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.
What homes rent for around CV31 2
The local authority for CV31 2 is Warwick, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,238 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £881 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,906, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Warwick
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £315,000 median sold price, £1,238 a month is £14,856 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in CV
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.
| 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%) |

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