Blaenymaes market report SA5 7, Swansea
The standing SA5 7 (Blaenymaes) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 1,892 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SA5 7 (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.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 22 registered 2026 sales put the SA5 7 (Swansea) median at £182,500, up 39% on five years earlier, with a mean of £209,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,900 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 1,892 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SA5 7 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SA5 (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 SA5 7 home went from £49,500 in 1995 to £182,500 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 70%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the SA5 7 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 (+43.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−14.3%). 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 years (since 2025) | +10.6% | +8.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.8% | +1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +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
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 22 sales completed in SA5 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 77 sales a year before the financial crisis and 48 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.
What homes rent for around SA5 7
SA5 7 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.
Set against the £182,500 median sold price, £838 a month is £10,056 a year, a gross yield of 5.5%: 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.
Reading the SA5 7 market
Only 22 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SA5 7 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 SA5, this sector trades 8% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Bedroom by bedroom: SA prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the SA area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £225,000 | £300,000 (+33%) | £420,000 (+40%) | £518,750 (+24%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
