In cash terms the typical SA4 4 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £175,200 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 101%: 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 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SA4 4 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 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−11.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SA4 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.5% | −12.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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.
Sales activity in SA4 4
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.
SA4 4 recorded 70 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 228 sales a year before the financial crisis and 153 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.
The shape of the SA4 4 market
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. Against the SA4 district median, SA4 4 sits 17% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of SA4 4
The local authority for SA4 4 is Swansea, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £838 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £677 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,257 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Swansea
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £175,200 median sold price, £838 a month is £10,056 a year, a gross yield of 5.7%: 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 price of an extra bedroom in SA
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.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
