In cash terms the typical TA24 6 home went from £54,500 in 1995 to £285,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 141%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 17% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the TA24 6 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 2003 (+31.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−11.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What TA24 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.1% | +0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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 TA24 6
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 33 sales completed in TA24 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 151 sales a year before the financial crisis and 78 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 TA24 6
The local authority for TA24 6 is Somerset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £285,000 median sold price, £990 a month is £11,880 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: 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 TA24 6 trades
This is a thin market: 33 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

Are property prices falling in TA24 6 (Porlock)?
Will TA24 6 prices rise from here?

What is for sale in TA24 right now

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