| 1996 | £81,500 | £171,880 | 111 |
| 1995 | £107,200 | £233,036 | 66 |
In cash terms the typical BS40 5 home went from £107,200 in 1995 to £390,000 in 2026, roughly 3.6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 67%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BS40 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 2004 (+25.9% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−24.0%). 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) | −1.9% | −4.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.5% |
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 BS40 5
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.
BS40 5 recorded 35 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 95 sales a year before the financial crisis and 65 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.
The shape of the BS40 5 market
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BS40 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within BS40, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around BS40 5
For renting purposes BS40 5 sits in North Somerset. The ONS average private rent there is £1,197 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £390,000 median sold price, £1,197 a month is £14,364 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: 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.

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. 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%) |
