The SA13 median stands at £153,000 for 2026, built from 91 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £168,900, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
What a square metre costs in SA13
Measured by floor area, the last five years of SA13 sales average about £1,590 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

| 1996 | £33,000 | £69,596 | 227 |
| 1995 | £32,600 | £70,867 | 182 |
In cash terms the typical SA13 home went from £32,600 in 1995 to £153,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 116%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 5% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SA13 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 (+41.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.8%). 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 year (since 2025) | +9.3% | +6.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.0% | +0.1% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +6.3% | +1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.6% | +2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 51% of the typed total. In 2021, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £235,600 against £65,000 for a flat, 3.6 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 179 sales completed in SA13. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 407 sales a year before the financial crisis and 213 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.
How SA13 trades
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. Among the 51 measurable districts of its area, SA13 ranks 48 by median price: towards the affordable end.
The rental side of SA13
The local authority for SA13 is Neath Port Talbot, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£681 a month is £8,172 a year, which against the £153,000 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.
SA13 (Bryn): the questions that come up
Are property prices falling in SA13 (Bryn)?
Is SA13 (Bryn) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in SA13 (Bryn)?
Are SA13 prices heading up or down?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 28% over five years in cash and flat after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
When homes in SA13 change hands
Take the 1,286 SA13 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: August completions lead with 10.6% of the total, April trails with 6.7%. With so little between the busiest and quietest months, SA13 sells year round; the calendar is a weaker lever than price.

What another bedroom costs in SA
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SA area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £208,000 | £235,000 (+13%) | £275,000 (+17%) | £342,500 (+25%) | £450,000 (+31%) |
| Semi-detached | £155,000 | £170,000 (+10%) | £180,000 (+6%) | £242,500 (+35%) | £310,000 (+28%) |
| Terraced | £130,000 | £130,500 (+0%) | £141,000 (+8%) | £175,000 (+24%) | £235,000 (+34%) |
| Flat | £102,000 | £127,000 (+25%) | £172,500 (+36%) | £225,675 (+31%) | — |
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.
