Welshpool Property Market: House Prices, Sold Data & Development Finance, Q3 2026 Review

Welshpool: Welsh border market town with Shropshire connectivity and growing residential demand.

The Welshpool property market recorded 197 residential sales in the 12 months to 30 June 2026, with a median sale price of £249,000. This places Welshpool in line with the Powys county median, and £36k below the approximate UK median of £285,000.

Prices in Welshpool have shown modest growth, a year-on-year change of +1.6%. Within Powys, Welshpool ranks 3rd by price out of 5 principal towns, and 3rd by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Welshpool median prices moved from £235,000 in Q4 2024 to £255,000 in Q1 2026, a change of +8.5% over 5 quarters. Welshpool has now recorded 3 consecutive quarters of price growth. The most recent quarter is excluded because HM Land Registry registrations for it are still incomplete.

Powys, the local planning authority covering Welshpool, approved 8 residential planning applications and refused 1 in Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September 2026), with 86 still awaiting a decision. Too few decisions were captured in the period to state a reliable approval rate. Planning figures come from local planning authority records compiled by Landstack, retrieved on 3 October 2026. Councils and Landstack can take several days to publish decisions, so decisions made in the final days of Q3 2026 may not all be included yet.

Schemes approved in Q3 2026, together with those still awaiting a decision, propose around 399 homes, an estimated £98.4m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Powys covers more than one town in Powys, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Welshpool alone.

Property prices in Welshpool vary significantly by type. The table below compares Welshpool prices with Powys county averages and UK national figures.

Detached homes in Welshpool command £296,250, while terraced properties are most accessible at £154,000. The £142k spread between the most and least expensive types indicates a relatively compressed market where margins between types are tighter.

HM Land Registry has so far registered 11 new-build sales in Welshpool for the past 12 months, 5.6% of registered transactions. New-build sales are typically registered 6 to 18 months after completion, so this understates current delivery and is not a completions figure.

Too few new-build sales have registered yet to quote a reliable new-build premium for Welshpool.

Across the wider Powys market, 19 new-build sales have registered so far. See our Powys property market report for the full county picture.
