In cash terms the typical CW2 6 home went from £69,000 in 1995 to £227,500 in 2026, roughly 3.3 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 52%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2024; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2024 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CW2 6 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 2024 (+50.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−26.2%). 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 year (since 2025) | +18.2% | +15.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.3% | −0.5% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +4.5% | 0.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.4% |
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.
Sales activity in CW2 6
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 57 sales completed in CW2 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 245 sales a year before the financial crisis and 111 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 kind of market CW2 6 is
Only 57 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CW2 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
What homes rent for around CW2 6
The local authority for CW2 6 is Cheshire East, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £979 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £692 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,603, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Cheshire East
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £227,500 median sold price, £979 a month is £11,748 a year, a gross yield of 5.2%: 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: CW prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CW area. 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 | £232,846 | £251,500 (+8%) | £300,000 (+19%) | £380,000 (+27%) | £525,000 (+38%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
