In cash terms the typical BS31 home went from £62,000 in 1995 to £418,800 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 211%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BS31 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 (+29.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−18.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 30% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £570,000 against £229,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +3.0% | +0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.4% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +3.2% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
How many homes change hands in BS31
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 306 sales completed in BS31. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 358 sales a year recently, against 355 a year before 2008. 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.
The rental side of BS31
BS31 falls under Bath and North East Somerset, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Bath and North East Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,881 a month is £22,572 a year, which against the £418,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.4%. 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.

Are property prices falling in BS31 (Keynsham)?
Is BS31 (Keynsham) a good place to buy a house?
Are BS31 prices heading up or down?

The BS31 sales calendar
Take the 2,209 BS31 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: March completions lead with 10.8% of the total, January trails with 6.1%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 135 | 6.1% |
| February | 185 | 8.4% |

Bedroom by bedroom: BS prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BS area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £300,000 | £357,500 (+19%) | £414,995 (+16%) | £530,000 (+28%) | £710,000 (+34%) |
| Semi-detached | £244,000 | £285,000 (+17%) | £327,500 (+15%) | £415,000 (+27%) | £550,000 (+33%) |
| Terraced | £218,500 | £280,000 (+28%) | £341,000 (+22%) | £475,000 (+39%) | £640,000 (+35%) |
| Flat | £190,000 | £240,000 (+26%) | £346,756 (+44%) | £438,750 (+27%) | £535,000 (+22%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
