The standing TA5 1 (Cannington) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Everything below comes from 2,688 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in TA5 1 (Bridgwater) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: a typical TA5 1 (Bridgwater) home changed hands for £367,500 in 2026 (median of 30 registered sales, up 13% on five years earlier), with the mean at £417,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,230 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 2,688 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.

A postcode sector like TA5 1 is a single group of streets within TA5 (Bridgwater), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What buyers actually paid in TA5 1

In the TA5 1 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £367,500, from 30 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £417,400, sitting a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

What a square metre costs in TA5 1

Measured by floor area, the last five years of TA5 1 sales average about £3,230 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving TA5 1 29% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical TA5 1 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £367,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 191%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 13% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+33.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−13.4%). 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

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.

How many homes change hands in TA5 1

The register shows 30 TA5 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 83 sales a year recently, against 98 a year before 2008. 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 kind of market TA5 1 is

This is a thin market: 30 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. 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 TA5, this sector trades 8% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

What tenants pay around TA5 1

TA5 1 falls under Somerset, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £990 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.

Against the £367,500 median purchase price, a rent of £990 a month (£11,880 a year) works out at a 3.2% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Common questions on TA5 1 (Cannington)

Where do TA5 1 prices go next?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 13% over five years in cash but down 10% 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.
