Brynmill market report SA2, Swansea
The SA2 (Brynmill) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 17,794 HM Land Registry entries for SA2 (Swansea), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to August 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: 196 registered 2026 sales put the SA2 (Swansea) median at £250,000, up 11% on five years earlier, with a mean of £267,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,640 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 17,794 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SA2 is a postcode district covering Brynmill, Cockett, Derwen Fawr in Swansea. It is the most useful size for market figures: tight enough to describe somewhere real, large enough that sales keep coming and the medians hold steady.

A typical SA2 home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical SA2 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £250,000 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 2007; the current median sits about 16% 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 SA2 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 (+33.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −7.4% | −9.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +4.2% | −0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.6% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 40% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £335,000 against £133,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

How many homes change hands in SA2
The year-by-year sales count
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 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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 374 sales completed in SA2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 693 sales a year before the financial crisis and 424 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.
The rental side of SA2
SA2 falls under Swansea, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £677 a month here against £1,257 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Swansea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£838 a month is £10,056 a year, which against the £250,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.0%. 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 people ask about SA2 (Brynmill)
Are property prices falling in SA2 (Brynmill)?
Is SA2 (Brynmill) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in SA2 (Brynmill)?
Are SA2 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 11% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What you could buy in SA2 now
Everything above is what homes in SA2 sold for. The live side of the market holds 29 homes at the moment, listed by 2 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 19% above the SA2 median sold price.
Set against 374 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 29 homes on the market here are roughly 4 weeks of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.
4% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

What is for sale against what sells in SA2
Terraced homes are 21% of what sold in SA2 over 2024 and 2025 but only 0% of what is listed now: they sell, and there are few to choose from, so a good one is unlikely to hang about.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 32% | 31% |
| Semi-detached | 40% | 41% |
| Terraced | 0% | 21% |
| Flats | 28% | 7% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares.
When homes in SA2 change hands
March is when SA2 changes hands most (9.3% of the 2,559 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 6.8%. With so little between the busiest and quietest months, SA2 sells year round; the calendar is a weaker lever than price.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025

Moving up a bedroom in SA: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SA area, 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.
| 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.
