In cash terms the typical TA2 home went from £53,500 in 1995 to £270,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 132%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the TA2 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 (+34.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−6.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What TA2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +1.9% | −0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +3.5% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | 0.0% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 38% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £400,000 against £142,500 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 450 sales completed in TA2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 617 sales a year before the financial crisis and 461 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What tenants pay around TA2
TA2 falls under Somerset, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £990 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £674 a month here against £1,580 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £270,000 median sold price, £990 a month is £11,880 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What happens to TA2 prices now?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 9% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What you could buy in TA2 now
Everything above is what homes in TA2 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 6 homes currently on the market from an agent publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 233% above the TA2 median sold price.
At the pace of the last twelve months' registered sales (450 in TA2), the 6 homes listed here amount to about a week of supply. Not every agent publishes to HomesIndex, so the true figure is higher. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.
17% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

When homes in TA2 change hands
Across the 2,782 sales completed in TA2 from 2021 to 2025, June was the busiest month for completions (11.4% of the total) and January the quietest (5.9%). The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.

What another bedroom costs in TA
Real sold prices by size across the TA area, straight 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 | £258,500 | £300,000 (+16%) | £339,995 (+13%) | £420,000 (+24%) | £536,000 (+28%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £235,000 (+12%) | £273,000 (+16%) | £327,500 (+20%) | £415,000 (+27%) |

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.
