In cash terms the typical BA3 5 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £377,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 216%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 12% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BA3 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 (+57.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−7.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BA3 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +11.4% | +8.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.7% |
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.
How many homes change hands in BA3 5
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.
The register shows 30 BA3 5 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 122 sales a year before the financial crisis and 83 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.
How BA3 5 trades
This is a thin market: 30 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 BA3, this sector trades 22% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around BA3 5
The local authority for BA3 5 is Somerset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £990 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £674 a month here against £1,580 for four or more bedrooms.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £377,500 median sold price, £990 a month is £11,880 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Bedroom by bedroom: BA prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BA area. 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
