In cash terms the typical BS39 5 home went from £67,500 in 1995 to £414,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 182%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 17% 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 BS39 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 2001 (+33.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−13.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.5% | +1.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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.
BS39 5 recorded 26 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 77 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 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.
What homes rent for around BS39 5
The local authority for BS39 5 is Bath and North East Somerset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,881 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,203 a month here against £2,535 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bath and North East Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £414,000 median sold price, £1,881 a month is £22,572 a year, a gross yield of 5.5%: 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.
The shape of the BS39 5 market
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BS39 5 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 BS39, this sector trades 24% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

The price of an extra bedroom in BS
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.
