In cash terms the typical LD home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 125%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LD median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+31.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−8.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LD has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.7% | −7.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 47% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £350,000 against £81,000 for a flat, 4.3 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 454 LD sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 816 sales a year before the financial crisis and 539 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Reading the LD market
This is a thin market: 454 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.
What tenants pay around LD
The local authority for LD is Powys, the local authority covering most of the LD area, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £620 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £461 a month for a typical one-bed to £951 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Powys
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£620 a month is £7,440 a year, which against the £250,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

LD's current homes for sale

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in LD
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LD area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £242,135 | £327,250 (+35%) | £450,000 (+38%) | — |
| Semi-detached | — | £215,000 | £235,000 (+9%) | £300,000 (+28%) | — |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
