How Rhymney Street, Cardiff prices moved
The chart tracks the median Rhymney Street, Cardiff house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2016. 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 | £48,975 | £108,748 |
| 2000s | 9 | £131,500 | £239,554 |
| 2010s | 6 | £144,500 | £203,745 |
The highest yearly median on record for Rhymney Street, Cardiff is £165,000 in 2015; the lowest is £42,500 in 1996. Across the full 22-year record the cash median has moved from £43,750 to £153,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £97,146, so the real change over the whole record is +120.6% — about +3.84% 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: +4.1% in cash against -18.4% 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.

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 Rhymney Street, Cardiff 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. Rhymney Street, Cardiff 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 | 281 | 92.7% | £115,000 | £18,000 – £360,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 12 | 4.0% | £39,000 | £24,500 – £184,500 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Rhymney Street, Cardiff
12 of the sales on record are leasehold and 291 freehold — 4.0% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £42,000 and the median freehold sale £124,995 — a gap of +197.6%. 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 | 12 | 4.0% | £42,000 |
| Freehold | 291 | 96.0% | £124,995 |
A further 49 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.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Cardiff at £1,162 a month as of Jun 2026 — £897 for a one-bedroom home and £1,194 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £115,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 12.13% 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 CF24, 1,298 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 368 violent, 28 burglary, 118 vehicle-related and 171 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 7.8 times busier.
Against the 362,308 residents the 2021 census counted in Cardiff, that is 3.58 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.

The neighbourhood around Rhymney Street, Cardiff
The 2021 census counted 362,308 residents in Cardiff across 147,333 households. 58.3% of those households own their home and 41.4% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

How Rhymney Street, Cardiff compares

Within Cardiff the street ranks 2486 of 3205 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £149,000 (-22.8%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,171 per square metre, across 100 of the 303 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 £18,000 to £360,000. 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.
Rhymney Street, Cardiff sits in Cardiff, in Wales.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Cardiff at 7.0 times median local earnings of £38,225 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.

When were Rhymney Street, Cardiff house prices at their highest?
