Today's LL21 prices, from the sold record
Take the 21 registered 2026 sales in LL21 and the middle price, the median, is £190,000. The mean lands at £276,400, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
LL21 prices by floor area
The last five years of sales put LL21 at roughly £2,380 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving LL21 33% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical LL21 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £190,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 99%, 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 30% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the LL21 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 2021 (+41.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−27.1%). 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, 53% of the typed total.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −11.0% | −13.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.1% | −5.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.0% | −1.7% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
LL21 recorded 52 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 81 sales a year before the financial crisis and 54 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 homes rent for around LL21
For renting purposes LL21 sits in Denbighshire. The ONS average private rent there is £706 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £541 a month here against £1,097 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Denbighshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £190,000 median purchase price, a rent of £706 a month (£8,472 a year) works out at a 4.5% 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.
Reading the LL21 market
Only 52 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LL21 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
Common questions on LL21 (Cynwyd)
Are property prices falling in LL21 (Cynwyd)?
Is LL21 (Cynwyd) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in LL21 (Cynwyd)?
Will LL21 prices rise from here?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is down 5% over five years in cash but down 25% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.

What another bedroom costs in LL
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%) | — | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
