House prices in CF83

What homes in CF83 sold for in the five years to 28 August 2026 (the latest sale HM Land Registry has recorded), against the five years before. The average is the middle price, so a few very high or low sales don't move it.

We count ordinary home sales. We leave out bulk sales, sales between companies and repossessions, because their prices don't reflect a normal sale.

Schools in CF83

23 state schools have a CF83 postcode, and 2 more are within a mile of one of its postcodes. Being near a school is not the same as being in its catchment: check admissions with the council.

Estyn, the inspectorate for schools in Wales, stopped giving schools an overall grade from spring 2022, so there is no single rating to show. Each school's inspection reports are on estyn.gov.wales.

Flood risk in CF83

We checked the centre of each of CF83's 1,207 postcodes against the flood risk maps from Natural Resources Wales. 1,113 sit outside every mapped area, and 94 are in one: 6 at high risk, 25 at medium risk and 63 at low risk. The centre of a postcode is not each home in it, so check an exact address on NRW's flood risk map.

Surface water and small watercourses113
  • High risk from rivers or surface water and small watercourses: Greater than a 1 in 30 (3.3%) chance of flooding each year.
  • Medium risk from rivers or surface water and small watercourses: Between a 1 in 100 (1%) and a 1 in 30 (3.3%) chance of flooding each year.
  • Low risk from rivers or surface water and small watercourses: Between a 1 in 1,000 (0.1%) and a 1 in 100 (1%) chance of flooding each year.

The sentence above counts each postcode once, at its highest risk. The table counts it under each source, so a postcode at risk from more than one source appears more than once.

NRW's map takes into account the effect of flood defences where it has information on them. Defences reduce the chance of flooding but do not completely stop it, as they can be overtopped or fail.

324 postcode centres are in areas NRW is reviewing, so the risk there may change.
