Axminster market report EX13
The EX13 (Axminster) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 7,237 sales registered with HM Land Registry in EX13 (Axminster) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 72 registered 2026 sales put the EX13 (Axminster) median at £285,000, up 1% on five years earlier, with a mean of £345,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,340 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 7,237 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
EX13 is the postcode district covering Axminster in Axminster. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

In the EX13 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £285,000, from 72 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £345,800, sitting well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
Price per square metre in EX13
The last five years of sales put EX13 at roughly £3,340 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

In cash terms the typical EX13 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £285,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 126%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2008; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2008 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the EX13 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 (+41.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−9.8%). 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, 47% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £430,000 against £142,500 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.4% | −5.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −0.9% |
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
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 164 sales completed in EX13. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 265 sales a year before the financial crisis and 168 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.
What kind of market EX13 is
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
The rental side of EX13
The local authority for EX13 is East Devon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £973 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £688 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,624 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £285,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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.

Is EX13 (Axminster) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in EX13 (Axminster)?
Are property prices falling in EX13 (Axminster)?
Will EX13 prices rise from here?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £320,000 | £425,000 (+33%) | £635,000 (+49%) | £840,000 (+32%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
