In cash terms the typical TA7 9 home went from £74,000 in 1995 to £370,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 130%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 26% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the TA7 9 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 1997 (+29.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−18.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.6% | −4.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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, 15 sales completed in TA7 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 80 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 a year over the last five. 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.
Reading the TA7 9 market
Only 15 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TA7 9 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. Against the TA7 district median, TA7 9 sits 16% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around TA7 9
TA7 9 falls under Somerset, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £370,000 median sold price, £990 a month is £11,880 a year, a gross yield of 3.2%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in TA
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TA area. 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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
