In cash terms the typical BA1 4 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £425,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 161%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2024, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2024 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BA1 4 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 2002 (+28.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BA1 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.6% | −7.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 26 BA1 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 102 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around BA1 4
For renting purposes BA1 4 sits in Bath and North East Somerset. The ONS average private rent there is £1,881 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,203 a month here against £2,535 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bath and North East Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,881 a month is £22,572 a year, which against the £425,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.3%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
How BA1 4 trades
This is a thin market: 26 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 price of an extra bedroom in BA
Real sold prices by size across the BA area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
