CR8 recorded house prices and local checks

CR8 has 799 recorded standard residential transactions in the 24-month window 2024-10-01 to 2026-09-30. The median recorded sale is £500,000. These are completed sale records, not asking prices or an estimate of a particular home.

Flats / maisonettes account for the largest published group here: 254 sales, with a median of £300,000. The sample includes 16 new-build and 783 existing-home transactions. A change in that mix can change the median without the same home changing value.

Only groups with at least 10 records are shown. Quartiles use linear interpolation; the middle 50% is a distribution of recorded prices, not a prediction interval. The page requires at least 30 transactions and two publishable home types.

Detached have the highest published type median in CR8, £801,750, compared with £300,000 for flats / maisonettes. The difference is £501,750; it compares different homes, not the effect of changing a home's type.

Existing-home sales form 98.0% of this sample. The new-build subset has 16 records.

A missing area page or figure means we do not have enough suitable data here. It does not establish that a place is safe, affordable or free of restrictions.

These pages do not yet provide verified flood-area percentages and warning history, typical property tax bands or crime counts for the exact area. Welsh school and council-tax coverage also remains incomplete. No local figure is inferred from an England-wide or neighbouring-area figure.
