In cash terms the typical LD2 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £255,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 130%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the LD2 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 (+44.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−21.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. In 2021, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £269,000 against £99,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
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
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
LD2 recorded 56 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 88 sales a year before the financial crisis and 55 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.
The rental side of LD2
LD2 falls under Powys, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £620 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £461 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £951, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £255,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.9%. 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.
What kind of market LD2 is
This is a thin market: 56 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. LD2 sits 2 of 8 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 21% over five years in cash but down 4% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
LD2'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.
The price of an extra bedroom in LD
Real sold prices by size across the LD area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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.
