Corris market report SY20, Machynlleth
The SY20 (Corris) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 2,905 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SY20 (Machynlleth) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to August 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: the 2026 median for SY20 (Machynlleth) is £220,000, from 27 registered sales, up 29% on five years earlier; the mean is £248,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,430 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 2,905 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.

In cash terms the typical SY20 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 153%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 8% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SY20 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 2005 (+37.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−13.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +12.8% | +10.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.2% | +0.4% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +4.9% | +0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 41% of the typed total.

Sales activity in SY20
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
SY20 recorded 52 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 109 sales a year before the financial crisis and 84 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.
How SY20 trades
Only 52 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SY20 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. In its area's price order SY20 comes 21 of 25, towards the cheaper end of the table.
What tenants pay around SY20
SY20 falls under Powys, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £620 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £461 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £951, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Powys
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£620 a month is £7,440 a year, which against the £220,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.4%. 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Month by month: when SY20 sells
March is when SY20 changes hands most (10.8% of the 518 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 5.6%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 29 | 5.6% |
| February | 38 | 7.3% |

Bedroom by bedroom: SY prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SY area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £205,000 | £260,000 (+27%) | £312,699 (+20%) | £383,500 (+23%) | £482,000 (+26%) |
| Semi-detached | £185,000 | £205,000 (+11%) | £232,650 (+13%) | £275,000 (+18%) | £345,000 (+25%) |
| Terraced | £135,000 | £167,000 (+24%) | £197,000 (+18%) | £250,000 (+27%) | £307,500 (+23%) |
| Flat | £120,000 | £155,000 (+29%) | £237,700 (+53%) | — | — |
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.
