In cash terms the typical CW7 4 home went from £32,500 in 1995 to £205,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 190%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 26% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CW7 4 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 (+43.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−24.2%). 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) | −3.3% | −5.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.4% | −5.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
How many homes change hands in CW7 4
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 14 sales completed in CW7 4. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 43 sales a year recently, against 51 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.
The shape of the CW7 4 market
This is a thin market: 14 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. 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.
What homes rent for around CW7 4
CW7 4 falls under Cheshire West and Chester, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £974 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Against the £205,000 median purchase price, a rent of £974 a month (£11,688 a year) works out at a 5.7% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in CW: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the CW area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £260,000 | £365,000 (+40%) | £550,000 (+51%) | £788,000 (+43%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
