How Briar Way, Aberdare prices moved
The chart tracks the median Briar Way, Aberdare house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1998 to 2021. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £32,500 | £72,165 |
| 2000s | 4 | £36,500 | £66,492 |
| 2020s | 1 | £110,500 | £112,902 |
The highest yearly median on record for Briar Way, Aberdare is £110,500 in 2021; the lowest is £32,500 in 1998. Across the full 24-year record the cash median has moved from £32,500 to £110,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £67,390, so the real change over the whole record is +107.2% — about +3.22% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +33.9% in cash against -4.9% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Briar Way, Aberdare is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 55 | 66.3% | £79,000 | £22,000 – £149,995 |
| Semi-detached | 28 | 33.7% | £69,000 | £29,000 – £145,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Briar Way, Aberdare
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 83 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 83 | 100.0% | £77,000 |
A further 2 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of CF44, 143 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 57 violent, 0 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 31 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.
Against the 58,836 residents the 2021 census counted in Merthyr Tydfil, that is 2.43 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
