In cash terms the typical SA12 6 home went from £34,000 in 1995 to £145,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 96%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2024; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2024 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SA12 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 2004 (+54.2% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−15.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.0% | −4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.1% | +2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 53 sales completed in SA12 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 224 sales a year before the financial crisis and 143 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 SA12 6 trades
Only 53 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SA12 6 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 SA12 district median, SA12 6 sits 15% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Rents around SA12 6
SA12 6 falls under Neath Port Talbot, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £681 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £493 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £967, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Neath Port Talbot
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £145,000 median purchase price, a rent of £681 a month (£8,172 a year) works out at a 5.6% 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
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.
