In cash terms the typical TA4 3 home went from £65,200 in 1995 to £360,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 154%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2008. The market now sits about 26% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the TA4 3 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 2000 (+66.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−24.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +18.9% | +16.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
TA4 3 recorded 25 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 83 sales a year recently, against 93 a year before 2008. 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.
Reading the TA4 3 market
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TA4 3 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. Within TA4, this sector trades 22% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around TA4 3
For renting purposes TA4 3 sits in Somerset. The ONS average private rent there is £990 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £674 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,580, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £360,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.3%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: TA prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the TA area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £190,000 | £220,000 (+16%) | £246,000 (+12%) | £325,000 (+32%) | £433,750 (+33%) |
| Flat | £127,000 | £167,500 (+32%) | £220,000 (+31%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
