Based on official prices for Wales: 54 five-year periods since 1968. In the last 5 years prices there changed by 2.9% a year.
Green or red shows the gain or loss against everything you paid (price plus buying costs of £3,900). In the typical scenario the buying costs are covered after about less than a year. Before mortgage interest, running costs and selling costs.
These are scenarios based on past national prices, not a forecast or a price for any home. Prices can fall as well as rise, past changes don't predict future ones, and your area can differ a lot from the national average. Source: HM Land Registry, UK House Price Index, latest data 2026-08.
