In cash terms the typical CW7 2 home went from £59,000 in 1995 to £252,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 97%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the CW7 2 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 (+28.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−15.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +9.8% | +7.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.1% | +1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Sales activity in CW7 2
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 76 CW7 2 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 249 sales a year before the financial crisis and 165 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 CW7 2
The local authority for CW7 2 is Cheshire West and Chester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £974 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £712 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,586 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £252,500 median purchase price, a rent of £974 a month (£11,688 a year) works out at a 4.6% 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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CW area, 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £175,000 | £205,000 (+17%) | £258,000 (+26%) | £362,495 (+41%) | £515,000 (+42%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
