SA5 8 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 8 home went from £35,200 in 1995 to £166,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 117%: 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 7% 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 SA5 8 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−10.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SA5 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +18.7% | +15.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.0% | +0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.7% | +2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Sales activity in SA5 8
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 register shows 34 SA5 8 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 137 sales a year before the financial crisis and 79 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 SA5 8
For renting purposes SA5 8 sits in Swansea. The ONS average private rent there is £838 a month (May 2026). 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 £166,200 median sold price, £838 a month is £10,056 a year, a gross yield of 6.1%: 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.
How SA5 8 trades
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SA5 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

What another bedroom costs in SA
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%) |

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