In cash terms the typical TQ3 3 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £222,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 113%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TQ3 3 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 (+25.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.5%). 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) | +0.2% | −2.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.7% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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 3
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 84 TQ3 3 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 420 sales a year before the financial crisis and 168 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.
Rents around TQ3 3
For renting purposes TQ3 3 sits in Torbay. The ONS average private rent there is £908 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £611 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,279 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £222,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: TQ prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the TQ 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 | — | £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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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