| 1996 | £39,000 | £82,249 | 72 |
| 1995 | £36,900 | £80,215 | 60 |
In cash terms the typical LL55 2 home went from £36,900 in 1995 to £195,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 143%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the LL55 2 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 (+44.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−20.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What LL55 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.7% | −6.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 29 sales completed in LL55 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 108 sales a year before the financial crisis and 63 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 kind of market LL55 2 is
Only 29 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes LL55 2 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.
What homes rent for around LL55 2
The local authority for LL55 2 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.
£708 a month is £8,496 a year, which against the £195,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: LL prices by size
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.

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

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
