In cash terms the typical BA7 7 home went from £46,500 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 137%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 44% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BA7 7 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 2010 (+37.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−24.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −11.1% | −13.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −6.6% | −10.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −1.0% |
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.
Sales activity in BA7 7
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
BA7 7 recorded 28 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 97 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 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.
Rents around BA7 7
The local authority for BA7 7 is Somerset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Against the £240,000 median purchase price, a rent of £990 a month (£11,880 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.
The shape of the BA7 7 market
This is a thin market: 28 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.

How much did a house sell for in BA7 7 (Ansford)?
Are property prices falling in BA7 7 (Ansford)?
Is BA7 7 (Ansford) a good place to buy a house?
Are BA7 7 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 29% over five years in cash but down 44% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

Bedroom by bedroom: BA prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BA area, 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £320,000 | £425,000 (+33%) | £650,000 (+53%) | £965,000 (+48%) |
| Semi-detached | £235,000 | £270,000 (+15%) | £328,000 (+21%) | £440,000 (+34%) | £755,000 (+72%) |

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.
