🏡 PORT TENNANT PROPERTY PULSE — AUGUST 2026

What’s the word on the street this month?

August gives us an interesting picture of the Port Tennant property market — and this month is a good example of why it’s important to look behind the headline figures, rather than judging a property by bedroom count alone.

🔑 2-bedroom properties: average sold price around £164,000

🔑 3-bedroom properties: average sold price around £152,000

⏳ Average time on the market: approximately 12 weeks

📉 Average asking-price reduction: around 1.2%

🏘️ SO, ARE 2-BEDROOM HOMES REALLY WORTH MORE THAN 3-BEDS?

Not necessarily — and this is where local market data needs some context.

The current August figures show the average recorded sale price for 2-bedroom properties sitting above the 3-bedroom average.

But that does not mean a 2-bedroom house in Port Tennant is generally worth more than a comparable 3-bedroom house.

Port Tennant is a relatively small local market, so averages can move noticeably depending on which particular properties have completed.

Street, condition, property type, level of refurbishment, tenure and the circumstances of an individual sale can all affect the final figure.

For example, recent HM Land Registry records published through Rightmove include:

🏠 A 2-bedroom terrace on Gelli Street sold for £129,500

🏠 A 3-bedroom terrace on Danygraig Road sold for £123,000

Those two sales alone demonstrate why bedroom numbers cannot be looked at in isolation.

Another 3-bedroom property in a different street, in better condition or with more space could achieve considerably more.

📊 WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR SELLERS?

It means the average is a useful market indicator — not a valuation of your individual home.

When assessing what a property could realistically achieve, we need to look at:

🔑 Comparable completed sales
🔑 The street and immediate location
🔑 Property type and size
🔑 Condition and improvements
🔑 Current competing properties
🔑 What buyers are actually responding to

👀 AND WHAT ABOUT THE MARKET ITSELF?

The average time on the market is currently around 12 weeks, so properties are selling — but buyers still have choices.

Pricing correctly from the outset, presenting the property well and understanding the competition can make a significant difference.

Being on the market doesn’t automatically mean being in the market.

📍 Thinking of selling in Port Tennant?

Knowing the local averages is a useful starting point. Understanding where your particular property sits within that market is much more important.
