Morriston Property Market: House Prices, Sold Data & Development Finance, Q3 2026 Review (Corrected)

Correction. This corrected edition replaces the version first published on 3 October 2026, which counted pre-application advice requests as planning decisions for some local planning authorities. The planning figures below exclude them. The original version remains online unchanged.

Morriston: Hospital quarter area with affordable values and growing residential demand.

The Morriston property market recorded 3,369 residential sales in the 12 months to 30 June 2026, with a median sale price of £195,000. This places Morriston £37k above the Swansea county median of £158,000, and £90k below the approximate UK median of £285,000.

Prices in Morriston have been broadly stable, a year-on-year change of 0%. Within Swansea, Morriston ranks 1st by price out of 6 principal towns, and 1st by transaction volume.

On a quarterly view, Morriston median prices moved from £196,500 in Q1 2025 to £190,000 in Q2 2026, a change of -3.3% over 5 quarters.

Morriston shares a HM Land Registry reporting district with neighbouring towns, and the source data does not distinguish Morriston-specific sales from the wider district. The figures above reflect the whole shared district rather than Morriston alone.

Swansea, the local planning authority covering Morriston, approved 16 residential planning applications and refused 13 in Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September 2026), with 68 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 55%. A further 2 residential decisions in the period have no recorded outcome in the source data and are not counted above. Planning figures come from local planning authority records compiled by Landstack, retrieved on 3 October 2026. Councils and Landstack can take several days to publish decisions, so decisions made in the final days of Q3 2026 may not all be included yet.

Schemes approved in Q3 2026, together with those still awaiting a decision, propose around 318 homes, an estimated £56.3m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.

Swansea covers more than one town in Swansea, so these figures are authority-wide rather than specific to Morriston alone.
