Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Fairwood Drive, Port Talbot values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Fairwood Drive, Port Talbot is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 55 | 68.8% | £129,000 | £30,000 – £256,000 |
| Detached | 12 | 15.0% | £171,500 | £68,000 – £250,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 12 | 15.0% | £34,000 | £26,000 – £82,500 |
| Terraced | 1 | 1.3% | £167,000 | £167,000 – £167,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Fairwood Drive, Port Talbot
15 of the sales on record are leasehold and 65 freehold — 18.8% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £48,750 and the median freehold sale £147,000 — a gap of +201.5%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 15 | 18.8% | £48,750 |
| Freehold | 65 | 81.3% | £147,000 |
| New build | 2 | 2.5% | £192,000 |
| Existing home | 78 | 97.5% | £120,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +60.0%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 2 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in Fairwood Drive, Port Talbot
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Neath Port Talbot, 40.1% of 75,887 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.0% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

| B | 5,304 | 7.0% |
| C | 24,055 | 31.7% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Neath Port Talbot at £687 a month as of Jun 2026 — £497 for a one-bedroom home and £722 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £121,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.81% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of SA12, 119 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 51 violent, 3 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 14 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.4 times quieter.
Against the 142,289 residents the 2021 census counted in Neath Port Talbot, that is 0.84 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Neath Port Talbot at 4.4 times median local earnings of £37,417 a year, measured to Sep 2025.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Fairwood Drive, Port Talbot?

How many homes have sold in Fairwood Drive, Port Talbot?

When were Fairwood Drive, Port Talbot house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £180,000, set in 2021. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 20 Mar 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
