Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on SA8: few sales, so go in with your eyes open
SA8 is a thin market, at roughly 14 sales a month, which is too few for firm conclusions, so we would lean on individual sold homes rather than any average.
For sellers, the spread in SA8 is wide, with most sales between £105,000 and £350,000, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; with so few sales, allow extra time and a local agent’s view; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseWhen buying here, typical prices in SA8 sit below the Wales average, so a lower price than the average is a prompt to ask why, not a reason to relax.
Before you offer in SA8, check planning history nearby (548 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and the EPC rating, and ask your conveyancer about the title.
With averages this broad, the free SA8 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Neath Port Talbot (SA8) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £260,250 against £135,000 for terraced homes: about 1.9 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £105,000 and £350,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (98%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 14 recorded sales a month.

Deprivation (IMD)
Area profile for SA8
The English Indices of Deprivation cover England only, so there is no decile to show for a Wales district. The equivalent measure is the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (Welsh Government), which is published on a different geography and a different scale. The two are not interchangeable, so we do not substitute one for the other.
