SY14 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SY14 (Malpas). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical SY14 8 home went from £77,000 in 1995 to £262,500 in 2026, roughly 3.4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 57%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 39% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SY14 8 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 (+36.0% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−28.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SY14 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −20.5% | −22.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.6% | −7.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 15 SY14 8 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 48 sales a year recently, against 55 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 SY14 8 market
Only 15 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SY14 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within SY14, this sector trades 20% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around SY14 8
SY14 8 falls under Cheshire West and Chester, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £974 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £712 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,586 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Cheshire West and Chester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £262,500 median sold price, £974 a month is £11,688 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in SY
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SY area. 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.
