EX20 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside EX20 (Okehampton). 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.

| 1996 | £59,000 | £124,428 | 85 |
| 1995 | £48,800 | £106,084 | 50 |
In cash terms the typical EX20 3 home went from £48,800 in 1995 to £280,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 164%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2005. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the EX20 3 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 (+40.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−21.0%). 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) | −3.4% | −5.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −0.9% |
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 EX20 3
The year-by-year sales count
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, 22 sales completed in EX20 3. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 69 sales a year recently, against 80 a year before 2008. 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.
Reading the EX20 3 market
Only 22 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes EX20 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around EX20 3
The local authority for EX20 3 is West Devon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £839 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £598 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,342 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, West Devon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £280,000 median sold price, £839 a month is £10,068 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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.

How much did a house sell for in EX20 3 (North Tawton)?
Are property prices falling in EX20 3 (North Tawton)?
Is EX20 3 (North Tawton) a good place to buy a house?

Bedroom by bedroom: EX prices by size
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%) |

| Flat | £145,000 | £222,000 (+53%) | £325,000 (+46%) | £458,250 (+41%) | — |
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.
