In cash terms the typical CW2 7 home went from £32,000 in 1995 to £147,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 112%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 20% 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 CW2 7 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 (+36.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CW2 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.7% | −4.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 35 CW2 7 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 294 sales a year before the financial crisis and 90 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 7 is
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CW2 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within CW2, this sector trades 36% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around CW2 7
The local authority for CW2 7 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.
Against the £147,500 median purchase price, a rent of £979 a month (£11,748 a year) works out at a 8.0% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: CW prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the CW 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £260,000 | £365,000 (+40%) | £550,000 (+51%) | £788,000 (+43%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
