In cash terms the typical CW10 home went from £55,600 in 1995 to £255,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 111%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 6% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CW10 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 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 41% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £317,500 against £150,000 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +12.1% | +9.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 229 CW10 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 398 sales a year before the financial crisis and 241 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 tenants pay around CW10
CW10 falls under Cheshire East, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £979 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £692 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,603 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Cheshire East
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £255,000 median sold price, £979 a month is £11,748 a year, a gross yield of 4.6%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in CW
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CW area, 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 | — | £260,000 | £365,000 (+40%) | £550,000 (+51%) | £788,000 (+43%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
