In cash terms the typical CW7 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £214,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 97%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 8% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CW7 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 (+22.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−7.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £306,200 against £105,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

What CW7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.7% | +3.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.8% | −1.0% |

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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 389 CW7 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 721 sales a year before the financial crisis and 460 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.
The shape of the CW7 market
Among the 12 measurable districts of its area, CW7 ranks 11 by median price: towards the affordable end.
The rental side of CW7
CW7 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.
£974 a month is £11,688 a year, which against the £214,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in CW
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CW area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
