In cash terms the typical SA13 1 home went from £34,000 in 1995 to £135,000 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 83%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. 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 SA13 1 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 (+47.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SA13 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.3% |
| 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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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 register shows 32 SA13 1 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 146 sales a year before the financial crisis and 74 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.
Rents around SA13 1
For renting purposes SA13 1 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Neath Port Talbot
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £135,000 median sold price, £681 a month is £8,172 a year, a gross yield of 6.1%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
What kind of market SA13 1 is
This is a thin market: 32 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. Against the SA13 district median, SA13 1 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in SA
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SA area. 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.

| Detached | — | £225,000 | £300,000 (+33%) | £420,000 (+40%) | £518,750 (+24%) |
