In cash terms the typical LL18 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £191,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 109%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 10% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LL18 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.0%). 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, 46% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £231,000 against £99,000 for a flat, 2.3 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |

| 1 year (since 2025) | +3.5% | +1.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.8% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +4.4% | 0.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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, 480 sales completed in LL18. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 1,047 sales a year before the financial crisis and 542 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 shape of the LL18 market
This is detached-house territory: 55% of last year's sales were detached, which props the overall median well above the flat and terrace market underneath it.
What tenants pay around LL18
LL18 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 £191,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.

How much did a house sell for in LL18 (Bodelwyddan)?
Are property prices falling in LL18 (Bodelwyddan)?
Is LL18 (Bodelwyddan) a good place to buy a house?
Are LL18 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 16% over five years in cash but down 9% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
LL18's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in LL18 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 98 homes on the market right now, from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 7% above the LL18 median sold price.
At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (480 in LL18), the 98 homes listed here amount to about 2 months of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher.
Of everything listed here, 13% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

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.
LL18: the homes on offer and the homes that go
Semi-detached homes are 34% of what sold in LL18 over 2024 and 2025 but only 0% of what is listed now: they sell, and there are few to choose from, so a good one is unlikely to hang about.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 84% | 51% |
| Semi-detached | 0% | 34% |
| Terraced | 16% | 11% |
| Flats | 0% | 4% |
The listing shares count homes published to HomesIndex by agents today; the sales shares count HM Land Registry registrations. Listings typed only as "house", "bungalow" or similar, which the register would file under one of the four forms, are excluded from the listing side (10 of them here).
The LL18 sales calendar
September is when LL18 changes hands most (10.1% of the 3,153 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 6.2%. With so little between the busiest and quietest months, LL18 sells year round; the calendar is a weaker lever than price.

What another bedroom costs in LL
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 | £185,000 | £230,000 (+24%) | £280,000 (+22%) | £360,000 (+29%) | £466,750 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £155,000 | £175,000 (+13%) | £190,000 (+9%) | £240,000 (+26%) | £287,000 (+20%) |
| Terraced | £120,000 | £137,500 (+15%) | £155,000 (+13%) | £185,000 (+19%) | £203,700 (+10%) |
| Flat | £95,000 | £130,000 (+37%) | £180,000 (+38%) | £220,000 (+22%) | £247,500 (+13%) |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
