Blue Anchor market report SA4 0, Swansea
The standing SA4 0 (Blue Anchor) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 1,853 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SA4 0 (Swansea) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 22 registered 2026 sales put the SA4 0 (Swansea) median at £233,800, down 16% on five years earlier, with a mean of £261,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,310 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 1,853 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SA4 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SA4 (Swansea). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical SA4 0 home went from £47,500 in 1995 to £233,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 126%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 34% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SA4 0 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 2021 (+57.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2022 (−25.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.7% | −0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.5% | −8.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.8% | +1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
SA4 0 recorded 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 68 sales a year before the financial crisis and 48 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 shape of the SA4 0 market
Only 22 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SA4 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within SA4, this sector trades 11% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
The rental side of SA4 0
SA4 0 falls under Carmarthenshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £680 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £495 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £990, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Carmarthenshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £233,800 median sold price, £680 a month is £8,160 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: 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.

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.

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. 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £152,000 | £168,000 (+11%) | £190,000 (+13%) | £268,000 (+41%) | £350,000 (+31%) |
| Terraced | £132,500 | £130,000 (-2%) | £148,670 (+14%) | £185,000 (+24%) | £270,000 (+46%) |
| Flat | £107,500 | £145,000 (+35%) | £222,500 (+53%) | — | — |
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.
