In cash terms the typical EX13 5 home went from £46,500 in 1995 to £270,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 167%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the EX13 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 2002 (+29.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−12.2%). 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) | +5.5% | +3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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 EX13 5
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, 52 sales completed in EX13 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 184 sales a year before the financial crisis and 124 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.
Rents around EX13 5
The local authority for EX13 5 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 £270,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.3%. 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 shape of the EX13 5 market
This is a thin market: 52 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in EX
What homes of each size actually sold for across the EX 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 | — | £320,000 | £425,000 (+33%) | £635,000 (+49%) | £840,000 (+32%) |

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
