In cash terms the typical LL55 1 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £199,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 108%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 41% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LL55 1 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 2008 (+53.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−24.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LL55 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.1% | −0.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.3% | −0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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.
Sales activity in LL55 1
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 20 sales completed in LL55 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 90 sales a year before the financial crisis and 55 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.
Rents around LL55 1
For renting purposes LL55 1 sits in Gwynedd. The ONS average private rent there is £708 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £199,000 median sold price, £708 a month is £8,496 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: 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.
How LL55 1 trades
This is a thin market: 20 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. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: LL prices by size
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%) | — | — |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
