In cash terms the typical SA42 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £345,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 174%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 40% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SA42 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 2000 (+46.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−28.9%). 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 years (since 2025) | −21.6% | −23.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.3% | −5.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.6% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.4% |
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 detached houses dominate the record here, 57% of the typed total. In 2018, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £360,000 against £132,500 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

How many homes change hands in SA42
Sales per year, counted
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 27 SA42 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 40 sales a year before the financial crisis and 27 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 SA42 trades
This is a thin market: 27 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. 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. SA42 is currently the dearest district of its postcode area by median price.
What homes rent for around SA42
The local authority for SA42 is Pembrokeshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £690 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £511 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,034 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Pembrokeshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £345,000 median sold price, £690 a month is £8,280 a year, a gross yield of 2.4%: 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.

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. 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 | — | £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%) |

| Flat | £107,500 | £145,000 (+35%) | £222,500 (+53%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
