| 1996 | £63,000 | £132,864 | 222 |
| 1995 | £62,800 | £136,518 | 138 |
In cash terms the typical BA1 6 home went from £62,800 in 1995 to £400,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 193%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BA1 6 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 2000 (+27.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.9% | −10.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 46 BA1 6 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 219 sales a year before the financial crisis and 110 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market BA1 6 is
This is a thin market: 46 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 rental side of BA1 6
For renting purposes BA1 6 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.
Set against the £400,500 median sold price, £1,881 a month is £22,572 a year, a gross yield of 5.6%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
