In cash terms the typical LD1 5 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £255,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 126%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 7% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LD1 5 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 2002 (+35.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−19.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LD1 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +9.7% | +7.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.1% | +0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.6% | +2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
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.
LD1 5 recorded 31 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 114 sales a year before the financial crisis and 72 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the LD1 5 market
This is a thin market: 31 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
Rents around LD1 5
LD1 5 falls under Powys, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £255,000 median purchase price, a rent of £620 a month (£7,440 a year) works out at a 2.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
