House Prices in Neath Port Talbot

Property Market Overview
Neath Port Talbot has seen robust transaction activity over the past five years, with nearly 9,000 sales across the county. The market trades at a median of £150,000, reflecting a predominantly affordable region compared to many Welsh and UK locations. Prices have climbed significantly, rising 24.7% since 2021.

Property Types and Price Differences
Semi-detached homes dominate both in volume and value, averaging £160,945 and accounting for over 40% of sales. Terraced properties trail considerably at £124,831—around 23% cheaper than semi-detached equivalents. Detached houses command substantially higher prices at £270,800, roughly 2.7 times the cost of terraced homes, while flats remain the most affordable option at £100,787.

Price Trends Over Time
The five-year trend shows consistent upward momentum, with prices climbing from £154,364 in 2021 to £176,871 by 2024. The 2025 figure of £183,458 continues this pattern, though the 2026 dip to £157,059 likely reflects incomplete early-year data rather than a genuine market reversal.

What Stands Out
Neath leads in transaction volume with over 4,200 sales, while Swansea commands the highest average prices at £185,881 despite fewer transactions. The wide spread between flat and detached prices—a gap of £170,000—underscores the area's variety in housing stock and buyer demographics.
