How Westward Rise, Barry prices moved
The chart tracks the median Westward Rise, Barry house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2025. 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 | 5 | £72,000 | £159,874 |
| 2000s | 5 | £163,975 | £298,714 |
| 2010s | 7 | £218,000 | £307,380 |
| 2020s | 5 | £355,000 | £362,717 |
The highest yearly median on record for Westward Rise, Barry is £385,000 in 2022; the lowest is £58,975 in 1995. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £58,975 to £375,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £130,952, so the real change over the whole record is +192.6% — about +3.64% 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: +72.0% in cash against +24.7% 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.

Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Westward Rise, Barry values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Westward Rise, Barry 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 134 | 62.6% | £180,000 | £52,000 – £480,000 |
| Detached | 61 | 28.5% | £165,000 | £64,000 – £500,000 |
| Terraced | 14 | 6.5% | £70,000 | £20,000 – £340,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 5 | 2.3% | £70,000 | £50,000 – £250,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Westward Rise, Barry
22 of the sales on record are leasehold and 192 freehold — 10.3% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £100,000 and the median freehold sale £176,000 — a gap of +76.0%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 22 | 10.3% | £100,000 |
| Freehold | 192 | 89.7% | £176,000 |
| New build | 19 | 8.9% | £142,000 |
| Existing home | 195 | 91.1% | £180,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -21.1%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

Living in Westward Rise, Barry
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Vale of Glamorgan, 46.0% of 63,615 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.1% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 576 | 0.9% |
| B | 8,073 | 12.7% |
| C | 20,598 | 32.4% |
| D | 23,546 | 37.0% |
| E | 8,216 | 12.9% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Vale of Glamorgan at £985 a month as of Jun 2026 — £729 for a one-bedroom home and £999 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £175,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.75% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of CF62, 24 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 7 violent, 1 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 3 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 7.0 times quieter.
Against the 131,939 residents the 2021 census counted in Vale of Glamorgan, that is 0.18 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.

Within Barry the street ranks 155 of 733 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £122,000 (+43.4%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,188 per square metre, across 45 of the 214 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £20,000 to £500,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Westward Rise, Barry sits in Vale of Glamorgan, in Wales.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Vale of Glamorgan at 7.9 times median local earnings of £35,204 a year, measured to Sep 2025.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Westward Rise, Barry?

When were Westward Rise, Barry house prices at their highest?

What is the price per square metre in Westward Rise, Barry?
£2,188 per square metre, from the 45 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.

The latest sale shown here completed on 19 Feb 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
