| 1995 | £36,400 | £79,128 | 111 |
In cash terms the typical TA6 5 home went from £36,400 in 1995 to £192,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 143%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the TA6 5 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 2002 (+28.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−9.4%). 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) | −9.4% | −11.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
How many homes change hands in TA6 5
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 31 sales completed in TA6 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 191 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around TA6 5
The local authority for TA6 5 is Somerset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £192,000 median purchase price, a rent of £990 a month (£11,880 a year) works out at a 6.2% 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.
Reading the TA6 5 market
Only 31 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TA6 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within TA6, this sector trades 18% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in TA: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the TA area, 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%) |
