A typical SA11 1 home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)

In cash terms the typical SA11 1 home went from £29,000 in 1995 to £120,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 90%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SA11 1 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 (+42.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−12.5%). 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) | +4.3% | +1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.7% | −1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 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
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
SA11 1 recorded 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 140 sales a year before the financial crisis and 69 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.
How SA11 1 trades
Only 27 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SA11 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the SA11 district median, SA11 1 sits 17% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of SA11 1
The local authority for SA11 1 is Neath Port Talbot, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £681 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £493 a month for a typical one-bed to £967 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Neath Port Talbot
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £120,000 median purchase price, a rent of £681 a month (£8,172 a year) works out at a 6.8% 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
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SA area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £225,000 | £300,000 (+33%) | £420,000 (+40%) | £518,750 (+24%) |
| Semi-detached | £152,000 | £168,000 (+11%) | £190,000 (+13%) | £268,000 (+41%) | £350,000 (+31%) |
| Terraced | £132,500 | £130,000 (-2%) | £148,670 (+14%) | £185,000 (+24%) | £270,000 (+46%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
