Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on LD5: a quiet market, so take your time
Only about 2 sales a month sell in LD5, so no single figure here should carry much weight, and the individual sold homes are the better guide.
If you are thinking of selling, most LD5 sales sit between £125,000 and £454,000, which makes £285,000 a blunt instrument, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check; a quick cash sale buys certainty at a cost, usually about 70–85% of market value as a rough guide, not a quote, so weigh it carefully.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, typical prices in LD5 sit well above the Wales average, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.
Before an offer goes in on any LD5 home, look at whether a new-build premium is baked into the price, whether the home is at risk of flooding and what has been built or proposed nearby, and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free LD5 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Powys (LD5) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £315,000 against £140,000 for terraced homes: about 2.3 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £125,000 and £454,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (98%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
Only 173 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- 21% of these sales were new builds, which often sell at a premium the first time around and can lift the median above what resale homes make.
- This is a quiet district: only about 2 recorded sales a month.

Deprivation (IMD)
Area profile for LD5
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.
