SA11 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SA11 (Neath). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

Price per square metre in SA11 3

In cash terms the typical SA11 3 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £190,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 90%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SA11 3 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 (+40.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−6.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SA11 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in SA11 3
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 38 sales completed in SA11 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 191 sales a year before the financial crisis and 126 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
How SA11 3 trades
Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SA11 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within SA11, this sector trades 31% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around SA11 3
SA11 3 falls under Neath Port Talbot, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £681 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £493 a month here against £967 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Neath Port Talbot
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£681 a month is £8,172 a year, which against the £190,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Moving up a bedroom in SA: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SA area, straight 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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
