| 1996 | £60,000 | £126,537 | 200 |
| 1995 | £51,800 | £112,605 | 190 |
In cash terms the typical TA9 home went from £51,800 in 1995 to £260,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 131%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the TA9 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 (+39.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 35% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £420,000 against £135,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

What TA9 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.5% | −7.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
Sales activity in TA9
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 145 sales completed in TA9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 259 sales a year before the financial crisis and 180 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.
The rental side of TA9
The local authority for TA9 is Somerset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£990 a month is £11,880 a year, which against the £260,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. 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.
Reading the TA9 market
Only 145 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TA9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
TA9 (West Huntspill): the questions that come up
Are property prices falling in TA9 (West Huntspill)?
Is TA9 (West Huntspill) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in TA9 (West Huntspill)?
Will TA9 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 7% over five years in cash but down 15% 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.

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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: TA prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TA area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

| Flat | £127,000 | £167,500 (+32%) | £220,000 (+31%) | — | — |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
