Summary
House prices in LD2: the typical (median) sold price is £250,000, above the Wales average (£215,037) but below the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is up 20%, ahead of Wales (+2.6% on the index), comparing 67 sales with 66, so a handful of homes can swing it. LD2 is a quiet market, with about 6 recorded sales a month. By property type, 45% were detached homes (typically £352,500) and 28% were terraced homes (typically £173,000).
Data from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, up to 28 August 2026.

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on LD2: few sales, so go in with your eyes open
At around 6 sales a month, LD2 is quiet, so the median can look stronger than the market really is.
When selling here, detached homes typically sold for £352,500 against £173,000 for terraced homes, which explains a spread of £121,900 to £491,000, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseFor buyers, on price, LD2 is above the Wales average, and rising, so do not let a fast-moving market push you past what the sold homes of your type support.
Before you offer in LD2, check long-term flood risk, planning applications nearby and the energy rating (EPC), and ask your conveyancer about the title.
Averages only go so far, so the free LD2 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the Powys (LD2) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £352,500 against £173,000 for terraced homes: about 2.0 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £121,900 and £491,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (97%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 6 recorded sales a month.

Deprivation (IMD)
Area profile for LD2
The English Indices of Deprivation cover England only, so there is no decile to show for a Wales district. The equivalent measure is the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (Welsh Government), which is published on a different geography and a different scale. The two are not interchangeable, so we do not substitute one for the other.
