In cash terms the typical TQ3 2 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £227,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 105%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the TQ3 2 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 2003 (+27.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−11.7%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.4% | +1.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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.
The register shows 65 TQ3 2 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 251 sales a year before the financial crisis and 142 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 TQ3 2
TQ3 2 falls under Torbay, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £908 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £611 a month here against £1,279 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Torbay
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £227,500 median sold price, £908 a month is £10,896 a year, a gross yield of 4.8%: 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 TQ
Real sold prices by size across the TQ area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £325,000 | £435,000 (+34%) | £660,000 (+52%) | £930,000 (+41%) |
| Semi-detached | £225,000 | £270,000 (+20%) | £315,000 (+17%) | £406,000 (+29%) | £530,000 (+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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
