In cash terms the typical LD6 home went from £44,500 in 1995 to £195,200 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 102%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 26% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LD6 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 (+63.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−22.7%). 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) | −2.4% | −4.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.4% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 49% of the typed total.

How many homes change hands in LD6
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
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, 29 sales completed in LD6. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 30 sales a year recently, against 37 a year before 2008. 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 LD6 market
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. In its area's price order LD6 comes 7 of 8, towards the cheaper end of the table.
Rents around LD6
The local authority for LD6 is Powys, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Set against the £195,200 median sold price, £620 a month is £7,440 a year, a gross yield of 3.8%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom 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.
