In cash terms the typical BA4 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £285,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 143%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BA4 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 (+26.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−5.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.7% | −5.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 31% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £485,000 against £145,000 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

Sales activity in BA4
How many homes change hands
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
BA4 recorded 224 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 427 sales a year before the financial crisis and 213 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.
Rents around BA4
BA4 falls under Somerset, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £990 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £674 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,580, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£990 a month is £11,880 a year, which against the £285,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.
