No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: a typical EX2 4 (Exeter) home changed hands for £370,000 in 2026 (median of 31 registered sales, down 1% on five years earlier), with the mean at £427,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,480 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 4,640 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.
A postcode sector like EX2 4 is a single group of streets within EX2 (Exeter), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

EX2 4 sold prices: where the market stands
The EX2 4 median stands at £370,000 for 2026, built from 31 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £427,700, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
House prices per square metre in EX2 4
A square metre of EX2 4 home has cost about £4,480 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, EX2 4 runs 30% above it.
EX2 4's median sold price, 1995 to 2026
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical EX2 4 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £370,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 193%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the EX2 4 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 (+31.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2007 (−5.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What EX2 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.5% | −1.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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 EX2 4
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, 31 sales completed in EX2 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 211 sales a year before the financial crisis and 92 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 EX2 4 market
This is a thin market: 31 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. Against the EX2 district median, EX2 4 sits 21% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around EX2 4
For renting purposes EX2 4 sits in Exeter. The ONS average private rent there is £1,314 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £912 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,917 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Exeter
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £370,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,314 a month (£15,768 a year) works out at a 4.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

What you could buy in EX2 now
Turning to what is actually available: 207 homes on the market right now, from 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole EX2 district, not just EX2 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 38% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

The price of an extra bedroom in EX
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the EX area. 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.

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
