In cash terms the typical TQ2 6 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £258,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 116%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the TQ2 6 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 (+38.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−10.4%). 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) | +2.2% | −0.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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 TQ2 6
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
TQ2 6 recorded 79 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 262 sales a year before the financial crisis and 134 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.
The shape of the TQ2 6 market
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.
Rents around TQ2 6
TQ2 6 falls under Torbay, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £908 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £611 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,279, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Torbay
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£908 a month is £10,896 a year, which against the £258,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
