| 1996 | £39,500 | £83,304 | 99 |
| 1995 | £41,500 | £90,215 | 62 |
In cash terms the typical LL18 3 home went from £41,500 in 1995 to £172,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 91%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LL18 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 2003 (+30.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.6%). 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) | −4.2% | −6.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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.
How many homes change hands in LL18 3
Sales per year, counted
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.
LL18 3 recorded 26 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 128 sales a year before the financial crisis and 63 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.
What kind of market LL18 3 is
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LL18 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
Rents around LL18 3
LL18 3 falls under Denbighshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £706 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £541 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,097, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Denbighshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£706 a month is £8,472 a year, which against the £172,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in LL: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the LL 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 | — | £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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
