In cash terms the typical CW9 home went from £56,000 in 1995 to £255,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 109%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the CW9 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 1997 (+25.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−8.1%). 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, 35% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £367,000 against £115,500 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
CW9 recorded 466 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 872 sales a year before the financial crisis and 509 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 tenants pay around CW9
The local authority for CW9 is Cheshire West and Chester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £974 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £712 a month here against £1,586 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cheshire West and Chester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £255,000 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.

The CW9 sales calendar
Take the 2,993 CW9 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: March completions lead with 11.2% of the total, April trails with 6.0%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £232,846 | £251,500 (+8%) | £300,000 (+19%) | £380,000 (+27%) | £525,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £175,000 | £192,725 (+10%) | £235,000 (+22%) | £300,000 (+28%) | £417,500 (+39%) |
| Terraced | £149,500 | £155,000 (+4%) | £168,000 (+8%) | £230,000 (+37%) | £312,500 (+36%) |

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.
