Paignton market report TQ3 1

The TQ3 1 (Paignton) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,483 sales registered with HM Land Registry in TQ3 1 (Paignton) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: the typical home in TQ3 1 (Paignton) sold for £332,000 in 2026, the median of 55 registered sales, up 1% on five years earlier. The mean was £346,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,730 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 5,483 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.

TQ3 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside TQ3 (Paignton). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What a home in TQ3 1 sells for

In the TQ3 1 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £332,000, from 55 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £346,600, sitting nearly identical to it, meaning sales cluster closely around the typical figure.

What a square metre costs in TQ3 1

The last five years of sales put TQ3 1 at roughly £3,730 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving TQ3 1 16% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical TQ3 1 home went from £63,000 in 1995 to £332,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 142%: 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 26% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2001 (+26.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−10.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

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.

How many homes change hands in TQ3 1

The register shows 55 TQ3 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 225 sales a year before the financial crisis and 107 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.

The rental side of TQ3 1

For renting purposes TQ3 1 sits in Torbay. The ONS average private rent there is £908 a month (May 2026). 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.

£908 a month is £10,896 a year, which against the £332,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.3%. 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.

What kind of market TQ3 1 is

This is a thin market: 55 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within TQ3, this sector trades 33% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

TQ3 1 (Paignton): the questions that come up

Are TQ3 1 prices heading up or down?

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 21% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.

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.
