LL48 is the postcode district covering Penrhyndeudraeth, Llanfrothen, Minffordd in Penrhyndeudraeth. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

The going rate for a home in LL48

The 2026 median for LL48 is £143,800, taken from 14 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £169,300, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.

House prices per square metre in LL48

The last five years of sales put LL48 at roughly £2,150 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 LL48 50% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical LL48 home went from £37,200 in 1995 to £143,800 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 78%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2006. The market now sits about 31% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+39.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2001 (−21.1%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 57% of the typed total.

Annualised returns

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.

The turnover behind the prices

The register shows 33 LL48 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 44 sales a year before the financial crisis and 26 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 LL48

LL48 falls under Gwynedd, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £708 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £548 a month here against £1,035 for four or more bedrooms.

Set against the £143,800 median sold price, £708 a month is £8,496 a year, a gross yield of 5.9%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What kind of market LL48 is

This is a thin market: 33 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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. Among the 67 measurable districts of its area, LL48 ranks 64 by median price: towards the affordable end.
