In cash terms the typical BA2 1 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £301,000 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 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 BA2 1 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 (+22.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−14.0%). 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) | −14.0% | −16.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 39 sales completed in BA2 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 189 sales a year before the financial crisis and 99 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.
The shape of the BA2 1 market
Only 39 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BA2 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the BA2 district median, BA2 1 sits 24% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around BA2 1
BA2 1 falls under Bath and North East Somerset, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
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 £301,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 7.5%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in BA: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BA area. 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
