The places in Wales where house prices have risen the most in the last 10 years, according to the Land Registry

For the first time ever there are no areas in Wales where a typical home costs less than £100,000. That's according to a major analysis of the most recent Office for National Statistics (ONS) data.

Carried out by estate agents Hamptons International, the analysis shows that Blaenau Gwent is the area where house prices have had the largest percentage increase over the past decade, with the average property costing 92% more than in 2013.

That means house prices cost, on average, £65,600 more in Blaenau Gwent in 2023 compared to 10 years ago. A typical home in the area now costs £137,210, reports the Daily Mail.

At the other end of the scale, properties in Wrexham have seen the slowest growth, with a percentage increase of just 58%. The average property price in 2023 is now £206,340.

The map below shows how the average property price in each area in Wales has changed over the last 10 years.

In 2013, there were 28 areas of Britain where you could buy a typical home for under £100,000, including four in Wales. There are now none.

Monmouthshire has some of the most expensive houses in Wales, with the average property selling for £358,760 in 2023. Over the past decade, the area has seen a 88% jump in the typical property with properties increasing by £168,270.
