In cash terms the typical CW4 7 home went from £81,000 in 1995 to £352,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 100%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CW4 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 2004 (+31.5% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−18.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.8% | +2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
How many homes change hands in CW4 7
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 register shows 46 CW4 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 130 sales a year recently, against 148 a year before 2008. 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 tenants pay around CW4 7
The local authority for CW4 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.
£979 a month is £11,748 a year, which against the £352,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.3%. 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 CW4 7 market
This is a thin market: 46 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the CW4 district median, CW4 7 sits 12% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Of everything listed here, 40% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in CW
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CW area. 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.
