How High Street, Caernarfon prices moved
The chart tracks the median High Street, Caernarfon house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2025. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 3 | £27,000 | £59,953 |
| 2000s | 9 | £93,500 | £170,329 |
| 2010s | 9 | £80,500 | £113,505 |
| 2020s | 6 | £99,850 | £102,021 |
The highest yearly median on record for High Street, Caernarfon is £214,250 in 2022; the lowest is £24,000 in 1998. Across the full 29-year record the cash median has moved from £27,000 to £130,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £57,248, so the real change over the whole record is +132.0% — about +3.05% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +64.3% in cash against +19.1% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to High Street, Caernarfon values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. High Street, Caernarfon is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 205 | 72.2% | £72,500 | £7,000 – £285,000 |
| Detached | 41 | 14.4% | £153,000 | £25,000 – £622,500 |
| Semi-detached | 22 | 7.7% | £94,950 | £24,000 – £242,500 |
| Flat or maisonette | 16 | 5.6% | £109,500 | £50,000 – £137,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in High Street, Caernarfon
16 of the sales on record are leasehold and 268 freehold — 5.6% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £110,750 and the median freehold sale £79,500 — a gap of -28.2%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 16 | 5.6% | £110,750 |
| Freehold | 268 | 94.4% | £79,500 |
| New build | 3 | 1.1% | £80,000 |
| Existing home | 281 | 98.9% | £80,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — 0.0%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 35 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in High Street, Caernarfon
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Gwynedd, 26.3% of 59,374 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 20.7% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 727 | 1.2% |
| B | 2,816 | 4.7% |
| C | 12,079 | 20.3% |
| D | 18,339 | 30.9% |
| E | 13,142 | 22.1% |
| F | 8,091 | 13.6% |
| G | 4,180 | 7.0% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Gwynedd at £719 a month as of Jun 2026 — £555 for a one-bedroom home and £798 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £80,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 10.79% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
No street-level crime was published for LL55 in Jun 2026. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.

How High Street, Caernarfon compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. High Street, Caernarfon sits below that national figure — -49.2%.
Within Caernarfon the street ranks 293 of 389 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £108,000 (-25.9%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,494 per square metre, across 7 of the 284 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £7,000 to £622,500. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
High Street, Caernarfon sits in Gwynedd, in Wales.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Gwynedd at 5.9 times median local earnings of £32,697 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

£1,494 per square metre, from the 7 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.

The latest sale shown here completed on 29 May 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
