In cash terms the typical LL28 4 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £186,000 in 2026, roughly 3.6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 68%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2004, and today's median remains roughly 38% under it: a 2004 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LL28 4 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 (+45.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−21.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LL28 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −21.5% | −23.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.4% | −6.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.5% | −2.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 74 sales completed in LL28 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 236 sales a year before the financial crisis and 164 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around LL28 4
LL28 4 falls under Conwy, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £781 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £578 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,215 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Conwy
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£781 a month is £9,372 a year, which against the £186,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.0%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in LL
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the LL area. 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.

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