| 1996 | £43,300 | £91,318 | 127 |
| 1995 | £42,700 | £92,823 | 108 |
In cash terms the typical CW7 3 home went from £42,700 in 1995 to £175,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 89%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CW7 3 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−17.9%). 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) | −2.8% | −5.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in CW7 3
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.
CW7 3 recorded 57 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 265 sales a year before the financial crisis and 125 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 homes rent for around CW7 3
For renting purposes CW7 3 sits in Cheshire West and Chester. The ONS average private rent there is £974 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £712 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,586, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Cheshire West and Chester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£974 a month is £11,688 a year, which against the £175,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.7%. 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.
The shape of the CW7 3 market
This is a thin market: 57 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within CW7, this sector trades 18% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Is CW7 3 (Wharton) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in CW7 3 (Wharton)?
Will CW7 3 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 13% over five years in cash but down 11% after inflation.

What another bedroom costs in CW
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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
