In cash terms the typical BA16 home went from £48,500 in 1995 to £280,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 166%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BA16 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 (+25.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BA16 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.7% | +3.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 33% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £374,000 against £127,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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.
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.
BA16 recorded 152 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 277 sales a year before the financial crisis and 165 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 BA16
The local authority for BA16 is Somerset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £990 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £674 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,580 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £280,000 median sold price, £990 a month is £11,880 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in BA: the cost
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £320,000 | £425,000 (+33%) | £650,000 (+53%) | £965,000 (+48%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
