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 Fern Crescent, Congleton 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. Fern Crescent, Congleton is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

Ownership and new build in Fern Crescent, Congleton

0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 79 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.

A further 5 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 Cheshire East at £982 a month as of Jun 2026 — £694 for a one-bedroom home and £1,102 for three bedrooms.

Against the median sale of £91,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 12.95% 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 CW12, 175 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 76 violent, 5 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 27 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is about typical.

Against the 398,772 residents the 2021 census counted in Cheshire East, that is 0.44 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.

How Fern Crescent, Congleton compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Fern Crescent, Congleton sits below that national figure — -42.2%.

Within Congleton the street ranks 486 of 533 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £165,000 (-44.8%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,655 per square metre, across 17 of the 79 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 £15,500 to £185,150. 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.

Fern Crescent, Congleton sits in Cheshire East, in the North West.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Cheshire East at 7.6 times median local earnings of £39,459 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.
