In cash terms the typical LL42 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £151,000 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 83%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 45% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LL42 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 2019 (+74.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−29.8%). 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 flats dominate the record here, 32% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £370,000 against £179,800 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −29.8% | −31.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −7.0% | −11.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.9% | −1.8% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in LL42
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
LL42 recorded 42 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 51 sales a year before the financial crisis and 37 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 LL42 is
Only 42 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LL42 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. In its area's price order LL42 comes 63 of 67, towards the cheaper end of the table.
What homes rent for around LL42
The local authority for LL42 is Gwynedd, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £708 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £548 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,035 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Gwynedd
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £151,000 median purchase price, a rent of £708 a month (£8,496 a year) works out at a 5.6% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in LL: the cost
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.
| 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%) |

| Flat | £98,000 | £145,000 (+48%) | £195,000 (+34%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
