In cash terms the typical CW12 4 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £269,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 113%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CW12 4 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 (+39.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−15.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CW12 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.6% | −7.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −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.
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.
The register shows 79 CW12 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 249 sales a year recently, against 268 a year before 2008. 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.
The rental side of CW12 4
CW12 4 falls under Cheshire East, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £979 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £692 a month here against £1,603 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cheshire East
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £269,000 median purchase price, a rent of £979 a month (£11,748 a year) works out at a 4.4% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Moving up a bedroom in CW: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CW 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.
