| 1995 | £38,600 | £83,910 | 58 |
In cash terms the typical LL16 3 home went from £38,600 in 1995 to £207,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 147%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LL16 3 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 (+41.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−10.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +21.8% | +18.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.6% | +1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −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
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 40 LL16 3 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 139 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Reading the LL16 3 market
This is a thin market: 40 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
What tenants pay around LL16 3
For renting purposes LL16 3 sits in Denbighshire. The ONS average private rent there is £706 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £541 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,097 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Denbighshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £207,000 median purchase price, a rent of £706 a month (£8,472 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.

What is for sale in LL16 right now
This is what you could actually buy today: 83 homes currently on the market from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole LL16 district, not just LL16 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
22% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: LL prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LL area, 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 | — | £217,000 | £310,000 (+43%) | £445,000 (+44%) | £580,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £160,000 | £180,000 (+13%) | £215,000 (+19%) | £276,000 (+28%) | £360,000 (+30%) |
| Terraced | £125,000 | £146,000 (+17%) | £166,000 (+14%) | £205,000 (+23%) | £262,000 (+28%) |
| Flat | £98,000 | £145,000 (+48%) | £195,000 (+34%) | — | — |
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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
