Crossgates market report LD1, Llandrindod Wells
The standing LD1 (Crossgates) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,023 sales registered with HM Land Registry in LD1 (Llandrindod Wells) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 54 registered 2026 sales put the LD1 (Llandrindod Wells) median at £245,000, up 24% on five years earlier, with a mean of £255,300, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,310 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,023 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
The postcode district LD1 covering Llandrindod Wells, Crossgates, Newbridge-on-Wye sits in Llandrindod Wells. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

| 1996 | £54,000 | £113,884 | 121 |
| 1995 | £52,000 | £113,040 | 93 |
In cash terms the typical LD1 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £245,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 117%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 8% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LD1 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 2004 (+31.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.8% | +1.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.0% | +1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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, 51% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £300,000 against £77,000 for a flat, 3.9 times the price.

Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 110 sales completed in LD1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 203 sales a year before the financial crisis and 125 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Reading the LD1 market
This is a thin market: 110 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.
Rents around LD1
For renting purposes LD1 sits in Powys. The ONS average private rent there is £620 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £461 a month here against £951 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Powys
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £245,000 median purchase price, a rent of £620 a month (£7,440 a year) works out at a 3.0% 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.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

What another bedroom costs in LD
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LD area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) | — |
| Terraced | £155,500 | £170,000 (+9%) | £200,000 (+18%) | £252,500 (+26%) | — |
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.
