In cash terms the typical SA1 2 home went from £25,000 in 1995 to £130,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 140%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2015; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2015 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SA1 2 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+52.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−17.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SA1 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.3% | +3.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.4% | −0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.7% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
SA1 2 recorded 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 95 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What kind of market SA1 2 is
This is a thin market: 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Within SA1, this sector trades 9% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around SA1 2
For renting purposes SA1 2 sits in Swansea. The ONS average private rent there is £838 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £677 a month here against £1,257 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Swansea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £130,200 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 7.7% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Moving up a bedroom in SA: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SA area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
