In cash terms the typical BA12 home went from £56,000 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 138%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 24% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BA12 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 (+23.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 38% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £432,500 against £112,000 for a flat, 3.9 times the price.

What BA12 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.9% | −9.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in BA12
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 392 sales completed in BA12. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 621 sales a year before the financial crisis and 431 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 BA12
The local authority for BA12 is Wiltshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,064 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £736 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,711, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wiltshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,064 a month is £12,768 a year, which against the £290,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.
Reading the BA12 market
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.
Common questions on BA12 (Mere)
Is BA12 (Mere) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in BA12 (Mere)?
Are property prices falling in BA12 (Mere)?
Will BA12 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 21% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What you could buy in BA12 now
Everything above is what homes in BA12 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 146 homes currently on the market from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 12% above the BA12 median sold price.
35% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

What another bedroom costs in BA
Real sold prices by size across the BA area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £214,997 | £250,000 (+16%) | £310,000 (+24%) | £475,000 (+53%) | £735,000 (+55%) |
| Flat | £150,000 | £242,000 (+61%) | £425,000 (+76%) | £680,000 (+60%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
