In cash terms the typical SA11 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £145,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 91%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SA11 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 (+34.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−8.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 47% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £267,000 against £84,200 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.9% | −7.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.2% | +1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
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.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
SA11 recorded 393 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 676 sales a year before the financial crisis and 420 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 SA11 is
Among the 51 measurable districts of its area, SA11 ranks 50 by median price: towards the affordable end.
Rents around SA11
SA11 falls under Neath Port Talbot, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£681 a month is £8,172 a year, which against the £145,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.6%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in SA
Real sold prices by size across the SA area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
