In cash terms the typical BA2 6 home went from £90,000 in 1995 to £550,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 181%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 41% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

Year-on-year change in the BA2 6 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 (+52.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−24.7%). 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.

Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.

The register shows 54 BA2 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 157 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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.

How BA2 6 trades

This is a thin market: 54 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the BA2 district median, BA2 6 sits 39% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Rents around BA2 6

The local authority for BA2 6 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.

£1,881 a month is £22,572 a year, which against the £550,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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.

36% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: BA prices by size

What homes of each size actually sold for across the BA area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

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.

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