BA2 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside BA2 (Bath). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical BA2 2 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £365,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 195%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BA2 2 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 1999 (+25.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−9.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BA2 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −1.8% | −4.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.7% | −2.0% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.5% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 64 sales completed in BA2 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 205 sales a year before the financial crisis and 144 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.
The rental side of BA2 2
For renting purposes BA2 2 sits in Bath and North East Somerset. The ONS average private rent there is £1,881 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,203 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,535, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £365,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,881 a month (£22,572 a year) works out at a 6.2% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

What is for sale in BA2 right now
Turning to what is actually available: 96 homes on the market right now, from 2 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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. 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 | £285,000 | £310,000 (+9%) | £357,500 (+15%) | £460,000 (+29%) | £645,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £230,000 | £254,497 (+11%) | £283,560 (+11%) | £350,000 (+23%) | £425,000 (+21%) |
| Terraced | £180,000 | £227,500 (+26%) | £275,750 (+21%) | £382,662 (+39%) | £550,000 (+44%) |
| Flat | £138,000 | £187,819 (+36%) | £307,250 (+64%) | £450,000 (+46%) | £595,000 (+32%) |
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.
