In cash terms the typical SA1 6 home went from £34,600 in 1995 to £140,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 86%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SA1 6 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 2003 (+24.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−23.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.4% | −2.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.6% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in SA1 6
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 42 SA1 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 265 sales a year before the financial crisis and 111 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of SA1 6
The local authority for SA1 6 is Swansea, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £677 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,257, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Swansea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £140,000 median purchase price, a rent of £838 a month (£10,056 a year) works out at a 7.2% 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.
The shape of the SA1 6 market
This is a thin market: 42 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.

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.
