The latest house price across the UK is now £281,161, with the figure in Wales just above £240,000. In recent weeks there was a modest slowing down of the average house price, according to Nationwide Building Society, with June seeing house prices increase by 10.7% year-on-year compared to 11.2% the previous month.

The most expensive one went for almost £2m and is located in Anglesey. You can get the latest WalesOnline newsletters emailed to you directly for free by signing up here.
