In cash terms the typical SA11 5 home went from £34,000 in 1995 to £186,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 152%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the SA11 5 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 2005 (+33.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−15.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +19.6% | +16.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.7% | +1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +7.9% | +4.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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.
The register shows 20 SA11 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 63 sales a year recently, against 78 a year before 2008. 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 homes rent for around SA11 5
SA11 5 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.
Against the £186,500 median purchase price, a rent of £681 a month (£8,172 a year) works out at a 4.4% 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.
Reading the SA11 5 market
This is a thin market: 20 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within SA11, this sector trades 29% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Are SA11 5 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 38% over five years in cash and up 9% after inflation.

What another bedroom costs in SA
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.
