Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on SY16: steady sales, so price from the evidence
SY16 is neither busy nor quiet, at about 17 sales a month, which is enough to price from, though not enough history for us to call a clear twelve-month direction.
If you are selling, with detached homes at £297,500 and terraced homes at £157,000, the £126,800 to £435,100 spread is really several markets, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; roughly 17 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseIf you are buying, on price, SY16 is close to the Wales average, so hold any asking price up against the sold homes of the same type.
Before an offer goes in on any SY16 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (370 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and the energy rating (EPC), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Averages only go so far, so the free SY16 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the Powys (SY16) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £297,500 against £157,000 for terraced homes: about 1.9 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £126,800 and £435,100, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (99%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 17 recorded sales a month.

Deprivation (IMD)
Area profile for SY16
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.
