In cash terms the typical LL49 9 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £190,000 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 71%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 32% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LL49 9 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 2004 (+80.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−13.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −11.6% | −13.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in LL49 9
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
LL49 9 recorded 19 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 92 sales a year before the financial crisis and 56 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.
How LL49 9 trades
Only 19 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LL49 9 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.
Rents around LL49 9
The local authority for LL49 9 is Gwynedd, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Gwynedd
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £190,000 median sold price, £708 a month is £8,496 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in LL
Real sold prices by size across the LL area, straight 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.
