In cash terms the typical BS39 home went from £69,000 in 1995 to £335,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 123%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BS39 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 (+29.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−19.1%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £467,500 against £210,000 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.3% | −3.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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 BS39
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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 195 BS39 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 273 sales a year before the financial crisis and 182 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 tenants pay around BS39
For renting purposes BS39 sits in Bath and North East Somerset. The ONS average private rent there is £1,881 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £335,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,881 a month (£22,572 a year) works out at a 6.7% 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.

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 14% over five years in cash but down 10% 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.

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £360,000 | £480,000 (+33%) | £710,000 (+48%) | £960,000 (+35%) |
| Semi-detached | £267,000 | £310,000 (+16%) | £372,000 (+20%) | £500,000 (+34%) | £857,110 (+71%) |

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