In cash terms the typical EX12 home went from £50,800 in 1995 to £305,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 176%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the EX12 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 2002 (+22.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−11.6%). 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 year (since 2025) | −1.6% | −3.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.4% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +0.6% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.6% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £395,000 against £148,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

How many homes change hands in EX12
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
EX12 recorded 161 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 324 sales a year before the financial crisis and 173 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.
Reading the EX12 market
This is detached-house territory: 50% of last year's sales were detached, which props the overall median well above the flat and terrace market underneath it.
What homes rent for around EX12
The local authority for EX12 is East Devon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £973 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £688 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,624, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, East Devon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£973 a month is £11,676 a year, which against the £305,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. 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.

The EX12 sales calendar
Take the 1,033 EX12 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: September completions lead with 11.1% of the total, May trails with 6.0%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.

Bedroom by bedroom: EX prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the EX area, straight 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £290,000 | £325,000 (+12%) | £375,000 (+15%) | £470,000 (+25%) | £625,000 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £205,500 | £250,000 (+22%) | £295,000 (+18%) | £367,000 (+24%) | £450,000 (+23%) |

| Flat | £134,000 | £180,000 (+34%) | £270,000 (+50%) | £305,250 (+13%) | £437,500 (+43%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
