Market Overview: CR8
CR8 recorded 43 residential sales in the twelve-month window, enough to ground the median but not so many that property-type or street-level differences wash out. Individual sales ranged from £85k to £880k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
Flats were the most common transaction type, representing 56% of sales, while detached houses accounted for 19% and terraced houses accounted for 16%. A flats-heavy composition like this usually points to a city-centre or regeneration postcode where high-density apartment blocks have replaced or supplemented older stock.
The CR8 1AA dataset is a reasonable baseline, but decisions at the individual-property level should still lean on matched comparables rather than the area median alone. On the rental side, the estimated gross yield on a median-priced property here is around 4.1%, based on ONS regional rents.
