propertyprof Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 North Wales in general has been slow to follow the house price growth in close by Merseyside and Cheshire. However, its the past 18 months it caught up quite a bit. Rhyl, however, is a tip and was once described to me as "the town that stinks of pizz" - take that as you want. To the west end of the town near the fun park and bridge there are plans for a large new development, however, that is some time off, apart from that its got a relatively poor reputation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

propertyprof Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 North Wales is beautiful, try looking at Llangollen, Betwys-y-Coed, Abergele, Deganwy, Conwy etc. not to metion Abersoch aka Cheshire on Sea I agree that Rhyl does have a bad name and acknowledge that its not the locals that has got it that name but those DSSers from England, however, the property prices in North Wales have increased way above those in England over the past 12 months.

Check land registry data for the areas you want to look at - I believe the North Wales increase is mainly due to two reasons, firstly it relative affordability and secondly the planning moratorium on new homes across Cheshire which means a lot of overspill into Wrexham, Buckley, Llangollen etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Converted Lurker Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Didn't Anglesey report the biggest falls in the latest/last Land Reg figures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
