In cash terms the typical BS39 7 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £278,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 157%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BS39 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 2003 (+28.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.7%). 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) | −3.9% | −6.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in BS39 7
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 42 sales completed in BS39 7. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 87 sales a year recently, against 102 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.
Rents around BS39 7
The local authority for BS39 7 is Bath and North East Somerset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,881 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,203 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,535 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £278,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 8.1%. 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 BS39 7 is
Only 42 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BS39 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within BS39, this sector trades 17% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in BS: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BS area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

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