In cash terms the typical CW5 7 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £360,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 107%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CW5 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 1998 (+36.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−11.9%). 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) | +18.0% | +15.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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 76 CW5 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 279 sales a year before the financial crisis and 137 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.
Rents around CW5 7
The local authority for CW5 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.
Set against the £360,000 median sold price, £979 a month is £11,748 a year, a gross yield of 3.3%: 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.
What kind of market CW5 7 is
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. Against the CW5 district median, CW5 7 sits 22% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

CW5's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 154 homes currently on the market from 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

Of everything listed here, 28% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

What another bedroom costs in CW
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
