In cash terms the typical CW9 5 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £140,000 in 2026, roughly 3.0 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 37%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2015, and today's median remains roughly 34% under it: a 2015 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the CW9 5 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 2000 (+50.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−20.0%). 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) | −3.5% | −7.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.8% | −2.0% |
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.
Sales activity in CW9 5
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 30 CW9 5 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 113 sales a year before the financial crisis and 56 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the CW9 5 market
Only 30 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CW9 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the CW9 district median, CW9 5 sits 44% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around CW9 5
CW9 5 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.
Set against the £140,000 median sold price, £974 a month is £11,688 a year, a gross yield of 8.3%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What another bedroom costs in CW
Real sold prices by size across the CW area, straight 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.
