In cash terms the typical LD3 9 home went from £61,000 in 1995 to £233,500 in 2026, roughly 3.8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 76%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 27% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LD3 9 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 (+29.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−17.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −17.2% | −19.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.2% |
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.
How many homes change hands in LD3 9
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 29 sales completed in LD3 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 79 sales a year before the financial crisis and 62 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.
What kind of market LD3 9 is
This is a thin market: 29 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.
The rental side of LD3 9
The local authority for LD3 9 is Powys, 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.
Set against the £233,500 median sold price, £620 a month is £7,440 a year, a gross yield of 3.2%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

These cover the whole LD3 district, not just LD3 9: live asking prices are collected per district.
18% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
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.

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.
Moving up a bedroom in LD: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LD area. 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%) | — |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
