We report the detection of three novae and the discovery of two UV transients in recent observations of the M 31 central area with the Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) on board the Swift satellite. Three observations have been obtained so far as part of an on-going Swift monitoring of the M 31 center: ObsID 00035336038 (exposure time 4.0 ks, started at 2011-10-05.83 UT), 00035336039 (2.1 ks, 2011-10-16.48 UT) and 00035336040 (3.7 ks, 2011-10-21.21 UT).
