In cash terms the typical TA15 home went from £49,500 in 1995 to £235,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 118%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 53% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the TA15 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 2021 (+62.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−33.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 82% of the typed total.
| Type | Median (2026) | Sales that year | All-time sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £202,000 (2001) | – | 10 |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 (2014) | – | 28 |
| Terraced | £375,000 (2024) | – | 173 |
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −24.2% | −26.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −6.3% | −10.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.9% | −5.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.6% | −2.1% |
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.
How many homes change hands in TA15
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
TA15 recorded 15 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 11 sales a year before the financial crisis and 7 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 kind of market TA15 is
Only 15 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TA15 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. In its area's price order TA15 comes 23 of 24, towards the cheaper end of the table.
The rental side of TA15
For renting purposes TA15 sits in Somerset. The ONS average private rent there is £990 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £674 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,580 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£990 a month is £11,880 a year, which against the £235,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.1%. 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 TA: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the TA 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 | — | £300,000 | £390,000 (+30%) | £570,000 (+46%) | £775,000 (+36%) |
| Semi-detached | £220,000 | £255,000 (+16%) | £295,000 (+16%) | £375,000 (+27%) | £492,500 (+31%) |

| Flat | £127,000 | £167,500 (+32%) | £220,000 (+31%) | — | — |
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
