In cash terms the typical BA2 3 home went from £56,600 in 1995 to £410,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 233%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BA2 3 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 (+31.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BA2 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.9% | −0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in BA2 3
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 45 sales completed in BA2 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 181 sales a year before the financial crisis and 103 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.
How BA2 3 trades
Only 45 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BA2 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
The rental side of BA2 3
The local authority for BA2 3 is Bath and North East Somerset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,881 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
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 £410,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in BA
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BA area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

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