Cheapest and most expensive postcodes

THE most expensive and cheapest postcodes to buy a house in North Wales in in 2020 have been published.

Sold prices are taken from the Land Registry’s price paid data and show a big gulf between average prices in different parts of the region.

They range from £310,000 in two local postcodes to £85,000 in one area.

The most expensive postcode for buying a home is LL16 – £310,000.

The postcode includes the town of Denbigh although the highest prices are often found in the surrounding rural villages.

Areas in Conwy and Denbighshire that are encompassed by the postcode include Bylchau, Bodfari, Llannefydd and Llansannan.

LL11 (£310,000) is in close proximity to joint top LL16 and is a mixture of rural and urban areas.

The postcode covers parts of Wrexham but also a wide area of the Denbighshire countryside and also into Flintshire.

LL64 (£277,500) includes the popular resort of Rhosneigr on Anglesey.

It has boomed in recent years and seen house prices rocket – sparking concerns about local people being priced out of the market.

CH7 (£276,000), stretching from Caerwys to Northop and down to Llanarmon yn Ial, is another expensive place to buy a home.

Among those living in the postcode are footballer Michael Owen with his country house near Sychdyn.

LL35 (£260,000) stretches along the Dyfi estuary and takes in the seaside village of Aberdyfi.

The pretty beachfront village has always been a popular place to buy and explains why prices are among the most expensive in north Wales.

In the least expensive postcodes LL38 (£85,500) takes in Fairbourne, near Barmouth, in Gwynedd.

The low house prices can be explained by the fact sea defences will stop being maintained in the 2050s.

LL41 (£96,000) includes Blaenau and Llan Ffestiniog and Trawsfynydd where prices have always been lower than the surrounding villages in Snowdonia.
