August 2026🏡 WHAT’S THE WORD ON THE STREET IN PORT TENNANT?
🏡 PORT TENNANT PROPERTY PULSE — SEPTEMBER 2026
What’s happening in the local market — and what’s changing around Port Tennant?
September’s numbers suggest a market that is moving, but buyers are still paying close attention to price.
Here’s the latest snapshot:
💷 Average asking price: around £170,500
⏳ Typical time to go under offer: around 12 weeks
📉 Average asking-price adjustment: approximately 1.4%
🏘️ 109 properties have been listed across the Port Tennant market over the last six months.
Meanwhile, the latest available sold-price data puts the average sale price across Port Tennant over the last 12 months at around £155,000, with terraced properties — which make up much of the local housing stock — averaging around £148,000.
So what does that tell us?
It certainly doesn’t mean every Port Tennant house is worth £155,000.
Far from it.
Condition, street, size, layout, tenure and the amount of work required can create a big difference between two properties only a few roads apart.
And current asking prices show exactly that.
We’re seeing properties marketed from around £110,000–£115,000 for some three-bedroom auction opportunities, while better-presented homes and larger properties are being marketed considerably higher.
That’s why local context matters more than simply looking at an area average.
🏗️ WHAT’S HAPPENING AROUND PORT TENNANT?
There are a few developments worth watching.
A September planning amendment has been submitted for land south of Fabian Way and east of the River Tawerelating to a scheme for:
🏢 35 apartments
🏠 8 townhouses
Nearby on the Swansea Waterfront, plans are also progressing around a further 26 affordable apartments.
Closer to Port Tennant itself, the council’s development plan continues to identify land at David Williams Terrace for approximately 15 homes — although the latest review states that there is currently no known activity bringing that particular site forward.
There is also continuing activity within the existing housing stock.
An application relating to the use of a property on Danygraig Road as an HMO remained awaiting a decision during September.
👀 WHY DOES ANY OF THIS MATTER?
Because a property market isn’t just about what sold last month.
New housing.
Investment activity.
Changes of use.
Regeneration.
Buyer demand.
And the amount of competing property coming onto the market can all influence an area over time.
Port Tennant remains an interesting market precisely because you can’t understand it properly from one headline average.
You have to look at what is actually happening street by street.
And that’s exactly what I’ll continue to do.

August 2026🏡 WHAT’S THE WORD ON THE STREET IN PORT TENNANT?
🏡 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.

🏡 WHAT’S THE WORD ON THE STREET IN PORT TENNANT?
With convenient access to Swansea city centre, the SA1 Waterfront, Swansea University’s Bay Campus and the M4, Port Tennant is well positioned for buyers looking to remain close to the city and its surrounding employment and education hubs.
Here is the July 2026 Port Tennant Property Pulse:
🔑 Two-bedroom properties: average sold price of approximately £166,000
🔑 Three-bedroom properties: average sold price of approximately £181,000
⏳ Typical time on the market: around 14 weeks
📉 Average reduction from the original asking price: approximately 2.2%
So, what is the market telling us?
Properties are taking time to secure a buyer, and asking prices are not always being achieved. This makes getting the price right from the beginning especially important.
Good presentation, realistic pricing and a strong marketing plan can all make a difference—particularly in an area where property values can vary depending on the street, property type and condition.
