Exeter market report EX2 8
The EX2 8 (Exeter) 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: 5,149 sales registered with HM Land Registry in EX2 8 (Exeter) 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 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 40 registered 2026 sales put the EX2 8 (Exeter) median at £241,800, up 0% on five years earlier, with a mean of £272,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,800 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,149 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
EX2 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside EX2 (Exeter). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

Today's EX2 8 prices, from the sold record

EX2 8 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of EX2 8 sales average about £3,800 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts EX2 8 15% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical EX2 8 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £241,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 122%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the EX2 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 2002 (+39.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−20.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −20.7% | −22.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −1.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in EX2 8
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.
EX2 8 recorded 40 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 225 sales a year before the financial crisis and 119 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
How EX2 8 trades
This is a thin market: 40 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 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. Within EX2, this sector trades 21% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around EX2 8
EX2 8 falls under Exeter, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,314 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £912 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,917, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Exeter
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £241,800 median sold price, £1,314 a month is £15,768 a year, a gross yield of 6.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

38% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The price of an extra bedroom in EX
Real sold prices by size across the EX area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £320,000 | £425,000 (+33%) | £635,000 (+49%) | £840,000 (+32%) |
| Semi-detached | £230,000 | £275,000 (+20%) | £335,000 (+22%) | £430,000 (+28%) | £569,000 (+32%) |
| Terraced | £203,000 | £245,000 (+21%) | £280,000 (+14%) | £350,000 (+25%) | £475,000 (+36%) |
| Flat | £145,000 | £222,000 (+53%) | £325,000 (+46%) | £458,250 (+41%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
