Penarth property market: common questions
Where is Penarth?
Penarth sits on the edge of South Glamorgan. Figures for Penarth cover listings within about 2.0 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
What is the average house price in Penarth?
The median asking price across the 152 homes for sale in Penarth is £317,500 (as of 4 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £200,000 and £499,996. That is 6% above South Glamorgan. Homes that actually sold in Penarth went for a median £315,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Penarth rising or falling?
Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Penarth is up 47% over the last 10 years and up 3% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Penarth cheaper than South Glamorgan?
No: asking prices in Penarth are typically higher than across South Glamorgan. The median asking price in Penarth is £317,500 against £300k across South Glamorgan: 6% above South Glamorgan. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. Entry-level prices are close to South Glamorgan's; the gap opens further up the market.
How many homes are for sale in Penarth?

How much do flats and houses cost in Penarth?
The median asking price for a flat in Penarth is £195,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £399,950 across 43 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Penarth?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Penarth is £197,475, across 46 current listings.
How much is a three-bedroom house in Penarth?
There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Penarth is terraced houses, at a median asking price of £332,500 across 20 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.
What is the price per square foot in Penarth?
In Penarth, homes that sold went for a median £350 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £342 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (152 in Penarth), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Penarth cover listings within about 2.0 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Penarth since May 2026.
- South Glamorgan comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of South Glamorgan, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
