House Prices in The Vale Of Glamorgan

Property Market Overview — The Vale of Glamorgan has seen substantial activity with over 11,000 sales across five years, though the overall market has softened by 3.2% since 2021. Prices cluster around £270,000 median, with significant variation depending on location and property type across this diverse region.

Property Types and Price Differences — Detached homes command the highest prices at £490,234, roughly double the cost of terraced properties at £242,707. Flats represent the most affordable segment at £189,599, whilst semi-detached homes sit in the middle at £314,832. Terraced properties dominate sales volume, accounting for nearly a third of all transactions.

Price Trends Over Time — The market peaked in 2022 at £341,565 before declining through 2024 to £328,560. The most recent data from early 2025 shows a recovery to £338,080, though this remains below the 2022 high and reflects ongoing market volatility.

What Stands Out — Coastal and village locations like Cowbridge and Pontyclun command premiums exceeding £500,000, whilst Barry dominates transaction numbers at nearly half the total sales with notably lower average prices. This pattern suggests a two-tier market split between affluent outlying villages and the busier, more accessible town of Barry.
