In cash terms the typical EX8 4 home went from £55,200 in 1995 to £307,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 156%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the EX8 4 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 (+40.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−7.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.1% | −6.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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 EX8 4
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
EX8 4 recorded 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 238 sales a year before the financial crisis and 116 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.
The rental side of EX8 4
For renting purposes EX8 4 sits in East Devon. The ONS average private rent there is £973 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £688 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,624 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, East Devon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£973 a month is £11,676 a year, which against the £307,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. 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.
What kind of market EX8 4 is
This is a thin market: 53 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 price of an extra bedroom in EX
Real sold prices by size across the EX area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £320,000 | £425,000 (+33%) | £635,000 (+49%) | £840,000 (+32%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
