In cash terms the typical CW5 8 home went from £74,000 in 1995 to £400,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 149%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 28% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CW5 8 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 1999 (+55.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−25.1%). 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 years (since 2025) | −8.0% | −10.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 25 CW5 8 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 52 sales a year recently, against 60 a year before 2008. 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.
Rents around CW5 8
For renting purposes CW5 8 sits in Cheshire East. The ONS average private rent there is £979 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £692 a month here against £1,603 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cheshire East
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £400,000 median purchase price, a rent of £979 a month (£11,748 a year) works out at a 2.9% 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.
How CW5 8 trades
This is a thin market: 25 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 CW5 district median, CW5 8 sits 36% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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. 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
