WalesOnline has analyzed land registry data to identify the top 10 most expensive postcodes for buying a house in Wales. These rankings are based on average sales prices, and while it doesn’t mean affordable homes are impossible to find, it might require patience or competition with other buyers to secure a property in these areas.
The most expensive postcode in Wales, based on sales, begins with LL64, covering the Rhosneigr area of Anglesey. This may come as a surprise, considering the coastal hotspots of Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, and Ceredigion had been making headlines for the highest average house price increase during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. Currently, the LL64 postcode tops the list with an average sales price of £583,754.
The coastal LL64 area, mainly encompassing the village of Rhosneigr, features various property types. According to Rightmove data, during the last year, most sales were of detached properties with an average price of £815,500. Semi-detached properties sold for an average of £613,500, and terraced properties fetched £304,000.
Here’s a list of the top 10 most expensive postcodes in Wales by average sales price:
LL64 Rhosneigr, Isle of Anglesey: £583,754
CF71 Cowbridge area: £576,083
NP8 Crickhowell, Monmouthshire: £521,226
NP15 Usk, Raglan, Monmouthshire: £488,647
LL70 Dulas, Isle of Anglesey: £485,000
LL66 Rhosgoch, Isle of Anglesey: £470,000
SA42 Newport, Pembrokeshire: £460,024
CF64 Penarth, Sully, Vale of Glamorgan: £418,214
LL73 Marianglas, Isle of Anglesey: £411,667
SA35 Llanfyrnach, Pembrokeshire: £406,714
While the LL64 postcode is known for its high prices, it offers various property styles, from luxury detached houses to more affordable terraces, catering to different budgets.
To my absolute lack of surprise the only places I’m familiar with on that list are full of second homes.
