In cash terms the typical SA12 9 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £154,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 102%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2010; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2010 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SA12 9 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 2010 (+33.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−21.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SA12 9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.6% | +4.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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 24 SA12 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 106 sales a year before the financial crisis and 74 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Reading the SA12 9 market
Only 24 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SA12 9 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 9 sits 9% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of SA12 9
For renting purposes SA12 9 sits in Neath Port Talbot. The ONS average private rent there is £681 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £493 a month here against £967 for four or more bedrooms.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£681 a month is £8,172 a year, which against the £154,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.3%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SA prices by size
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.
