Christow market report EX6 8, Exeter

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

EX6 8 is one sector of EX6 (Exeter): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

Price per square metre in EX6 8

In cash terms the typical EX6 8 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £336,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 138%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the EX6 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 (+29.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.3%). 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) | +1.8% | −0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.3% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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, 40 sales completed in EX6 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 179 sales a year before the financial crisis and 89 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 EX6 8
EX6 8 falls under Teignbridge, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £951 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £648 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,542 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Teignbridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£951 a month is £11,412 a year, which against the £336,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.4%. 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.
Reading the EX6 8 market
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. Within EX6, this sector trades 16% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| 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%) |

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