In cash terms the typical BA2 4 home went from £75,500 in 1995 to £478,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 192%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 36% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BA2 4 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 (+27.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−19.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −19.6% | −21.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.0% | −7.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.3% | −3.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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, 44 sales completed in BA2 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 173 sales a year before the financial crisis and 94 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 BA2 4
For renting purposes BA2 4 sits in Bath and North East Somerset. The ONS average private rent there is £1,881 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,203 a month here against £2,535 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bath and North East Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £478,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,881 a month (£22,572 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.
Reading the BA2 4 market
This is a thin market: 44 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Within BA2, this sector trades 21% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

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.
