In cash terms the typical EX8 5 home went from £57,900 in 1995 to £378,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 200%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2023. The market now sits about 11% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the EX8 5 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 (+27.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.1%). 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) | +14.5% | +11.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
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, 41 sales completed in EX8 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 194 sales a year before the financial crisis and 90 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 tenants pay around EX8 5
For renting purposes EX8 5 sits in East Devon. The ONS average private rent there is £973 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £688 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,624, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, East Devon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £378,000 median purchase price, a rent of £973 a month (£11,676 a year) works out at a 3.1% 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.
How EX8 5 trades
This is a thin market: 41 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 record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the EX8 district median, EX8 5 sits 20% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in EX: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the EX area. 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.
