| 1996 | £105,000 | £221,440 | 47 |
| 1995 | £132,800 | £288,687 | 38 |
In cash terms the typical BS40 8 home went from £132,800 in 1995 to £400,000 in 2026, roughly 3.0 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 39%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 51% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BS40 8 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 1999 (+40.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−33.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −33.1% | −34.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −5.3% | −9.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.1% | −3.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.4% | −2.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
BS40 8 recorded 11 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 54 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.
How BS40 8 trades
This is a thin market: 11 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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.
The rental side of BS40 8
For renting purposes BS40 8 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.
£1,881 a month is £22,572 a year, which against the £400,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.6%. 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.

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. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
