In cash terms the typical EX20 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £275,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 153%, 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 20% 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 EX20 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 (+43.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−10.8%). 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) | −3.5% | −5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 41% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £370,000 against £155,000 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
EX20 recorded 278 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 479 sales a year before the financial crisis and 352 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around EX20
EX20 falls under West Devon, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £839 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£839 a month is £10,068 a year, which against the £275,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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.

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. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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.
