In cash terms the typical BS20 8 home went from £80,100 in 1995 to £415,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 138%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 30% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BS20 8 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 (+35.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BS20 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −15.1% | −17.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.2% | −6.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in BS20 8
Sales per year, counted
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 32 BS20 8 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 155 sales a year before the financial crisis and 82 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.
What homes rent for around BS20 8
BS20 8 falls under North Somerset, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,197 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £812 a month here against £1,830 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, North Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,197 a month is £14,364 a year, which against the £415,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. 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.
What kind of market BS20 8 is
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BS20 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within BS20, this sector trades 8% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Moving up a bedroom in BS: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BS 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £360,000 | £480,000 (+33%) | £710,000 (+48%) | £960,000 (+35%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
