TA21 8 is one sector of TA21 (Wellington): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

TA21 8 sold prices: where the market stands

The TA21 8 median stands at £238,000 for 2026, built from 53 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £271,000, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

TA21 8 prices by floor area

A square metre of TA21 8 home has cost about £2,990 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving TA21 8 16% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical TA21 8 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £238,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 133%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 23% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+38.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−11.9%). 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

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.

Sales activity in TA21 8

The register shows 53 TA21 8 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 182 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 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 shape of the TA21 8 market

Only 53 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TA21 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within TA21, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Rents around TA21 8

TA21 8 falls under Somerset, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £990 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.

Set against the £238,000 median sold price, £990 a month is £11,880 a year, a gross yield of 5.0%: 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.

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.
