Buckland St Mary market report TA20 2, Chard

The TA20 2 (Buckland St Mary) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 3,868 registered sales in TA20 2 (Chard) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.

In short: 38 registered 2026 sales put the TA20 2 (Chard) median at £276,000, up 9% on five years earlier, with a mean of £280,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,970 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,868 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

TA20 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside TA20 (Chard). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What TA20 2 homes really sell for

The 2026 median for TA20 2 is £276,000, taken from 38 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £280,900, almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.

TA20 2 prices by floor area

Per square metre, TA20 2 homes have averaged around £2,970 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, TA20 2 runs 3% below it.

In cash terms the typical TA20 2 home went from £46,500 in 1995 to £276,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 173%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+35.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

What TA20 2 has returned, per year

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.

The turnover behind the prices

Over the last twelve months of data, 38 sales completed in TA20 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 155 sales a year before the financial crisis and 95 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.

Rents around TA20 2

TA20 2 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.

Set against the £276,000 median sold price, £990 a month is £11,880 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: 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.

The shape of the TA20 2 market

Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TA20 2 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. Against the TA20 district median, TA20 2 sits 10% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Common questions on TA20 2 (Buckland St Mary)

Will TA20 2 prices rise from here?

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 9% over five years in cash but down 14% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.

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.
