| 1995 | £42,000 | £91,302 | 586 |
In cash terms the typical LL18 home went from £42,000 in 1995 to £185,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 103%: 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 13% 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 £225,000 against £91,100 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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, 477 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 532 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 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 £185,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. 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.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £217,000 | £310,000 (+43%) | £445,000 (+44%) | £580,000 (+30%) |
