BA1 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside BA1 (Bath). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In the BA1 2 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £403,000, from 42 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £437,000, sitting modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
BA1 2 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of BA1 2 sales average about £6,340 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so BA1 2 trades 41% above the country as a whole.

| 1995 | £69,000 | £149,995 | 129 |
In cash terms the typical BA1 2 home went from £69,000 in 1995 to £403,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 169%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 35% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BA1 2 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2010 (+36.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−17.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −12.4% | −14.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.9% | −8.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.6% | −3.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
BA1 2 recorded 42 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 197 sales a year before the financial crisis and 95 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The rental side of BA1 2
The local authority for BA1 2 is Bath and North East Somerset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,881 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,203 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,535 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £403,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,881 a month (£22,572 a year) works out at a 5.6% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
How BA1 2 trades
This is a thin market: 42 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

The price of an extra bedroom in BA
Real sold prices by size across the BA area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £320,000 | £425,000 (+33%) | £650,000 (+53%) | £965,000 (+48%) |
| Semi-detached | £235,000 | £270,000 (+15%) | £328,000 (+21%) | £440,000 (+34%) | £755,000 (+72%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
