Marton market report SY21, Welshpool
The SY21 (Marton) 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: 6,383 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SY21 (Welshpool) 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.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 49 registered 2026 sales put the SY21 (Welshpool) median at £261,500, up 11% on five years earlier, with a mean of £288,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,490 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 6,383 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SY21 is the postcode district covering Welshpool, Marton, Stockton in Welshpool. 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.

In the SY21 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £261,500, from 49 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £288,900, sitting a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
What a square metre costs in SY21
Per square metre, SY21 homes have averaged around £2,490 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts SY21 8% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical SY21 home went from £43,500 in 1995 to £261,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 177%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SY21 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 (+34.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−11.0%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 52% of the typed total. In 2015, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £180,000 against £70,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

Annualised returns

| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 129 sales completed in SY21. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 262 sales a year before the financial crisis and 151 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 SY21
The local authority for SY21 is Powys, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Set against the £261,500 median sold price, £620 a month is £7,440 a year, a gross yield of 2.8%: 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 shape of the SY21 market
This is a thin market: 129 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in SY
Real sold prices by size across the SY area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £257,700 | £355,000 (+38%) | £522,750 (+47%) | £680,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £187,500 | £220,000 (+17%) | £257,000 (+17%) | £347,500 (+35%) | £440,000 (+27%) |

| Flat | £124,000 | £176,500 (+42%) | £280,000 (+59%) | — | — |
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.
