In cash terms the typical CW5 5 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 84%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CW5 5 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 (+44.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−12.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What CW5 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.3% | −12.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.1% | −1.7% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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 65 CW5 5 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 248 sales a year before the financial crisis and 149 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 CW5 5
CW5 5 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.
Against the £200,000 median purchase price, a rent of £979 a month (£11,748 a year) works out at a 5.9% 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.
What kind of market CW5 5 is

28% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
