In cash terms the typical EX20 1 home went from £47,500 in 1995 to £228,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 121%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 27% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the EX20 1 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 (+37.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−15.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What EX20 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −15.6% | −17.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in EX20 1
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 63 sales completed in EX20 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 250 sales a year before the financial crisis and 186 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 EX20 1 is
Against the EX20 district median, EX20 1 sits 17% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Rents around EX20 1
For renting purposes EX20 1 sits in West Devon. The ONS average private rent there is £839 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £598 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,342, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, West Devon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £228,000 median purchase price, a rent of £839 a month (£10,068 a year) works out at a 4.4% 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.

Is EX20 1 (North Tawton) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in EX20 1 (North Tawton)?
Are property prices falling in EX20 1 (North Tawton)?

If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
What you could buy in EX20 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 151 homes currently on the market from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

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.
Moving up a bedroom in EX: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the EX area, 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.
