In cash terms the typical CV8 2 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £371,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 144%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 27% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CV8 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 2003 (+22.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−12.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −12.7% | −14.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.5% | −6.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
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, 93 sales completed in CV8 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 373 sales a year before the financial crisis and 213 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.
Rents around CV8 2
For renting purposes CV8 2 sits in Warwick. The ONS average private rent there is £1,238 a month (May 2026). 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.
£1,238 a month is £14,856 a year, which against the £371,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.0%. 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.
Reading the CV8 2 market
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.

The price of an extra bedroom 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

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.
