In cash terms the typical BA2 5 home went from £72,500 in 1995 to £507,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 222%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

Year-on-year change in the BA2 5 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 (+33.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2004 (−14.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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.

Over the last twelve months of data, 32 sales completed in BA2 5. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 117 sales a year recently, against 115 a year before 2008. 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.

Reading the BA2 5 market

This is a thin market: 32 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 28% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

What homes rent for around BA2 5

BA2 5 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.

£1,881 a month is £22,572 a year, which against the £507,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in BA

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.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

The risers and the fallers

The spread across the BA area is the point: the same five years treated these districts very differently.
