What TA8 homes really sell for
The 2026 median for TA8 is £280,000, taken from 160 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £296,300, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
TA8 prices by floor area
A square metre of TA8 home has cost about £3,260 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts TA8 2% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical TA8 home went from £52,000 in 1995 to £280,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 148%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TA8 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 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What TA8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +1.4% | −0.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +3.6% | −0.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £383,000 against £152,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 272 sales completed in TA8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 588 sales a year before the financial crisis and 283 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 TA8
TA8 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Somerset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £280,000 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.

TA8's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in TA8 sold for. This is what you could actually buy today: 54 homes currently on the market from 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 9% above the TA8 median sold price.
Set against 272 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 54 homes on the market here are roughly 2 months of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Refreshed every Monday and Thursday from agents' own feeds to HomesIndex, so a sample of the market rather than all of it. An asking price remains an ask, not a sale.
What is for sale against what sells in TA8
Sellers of detached homes in TA8 have company: 61% of current listings against 37% of recent sales. When a type is offered faster than it sells, the buyer usually holds the better hand.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 61% | 37% |
| Semi-detached | 39% | 32% |
| Terraced | 0% | 19% |
| Flats | 0% | 13% |
The listing shares count homes published to HomesIndex by agents today; the sales shares count HM Land Registry registrations. Listings typed only as "house", "bungalow" or similar, which the register would file under one of the four forms, are excluded from the listing side.
The TA8 sales calendar
Take the 1,702 TA8 sales dated 2021 to 2025 and sort them by month: September completions lead with 10.3% of the total, January trails with 6.1%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 104 | 6.1% |
| February | 130 | 7.6% |
| March | 162 | 9.5% |
| April | 136 | 8.0% |
| May | 126 | 7.4% |
| June | 165 | 9.7% |
| July | 140 | 8.2% |
| August | 156 | 9.2% |
| September | 176 | 10.3% |
| October | 130 | 7.6% |

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 | £258,500 | £300,000 (+16%) | £339,995 (+13%) | £420,000 (+24%) | £536,000 (+28%) |
| Semi-detached | £210,000 | £235,000 (+12%) | £273,000 (+16%) | £327,500 (+20%) | £415,000 (+27%) |
| Terraced | £165,000 | £205,000 (+24%) | £230,000 (+12%) | £280,000 (+22%) | £350,000 (+25%) |
| Flat | £110,000 | £142,500 (+30%) | £188,500 (+32%) | £227,500 (+21%) | £252,500 (+11%) |
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.
