TQ5 is a postcode district covering Brixham in Brixham. It is the most useful size for market figures: tight enough to describe somewhere real, large enough that sales keep coming and the medians hold steady.

What a home in TQ5 sells for

The 2026 median for TQ5 is £275,500, taken from 130 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £311,900, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.

What a square metre costs in TQ5

Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in TQ5 costs about £3,680 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so TQ5 trades 3% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical TQ5 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £275,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 153%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 24% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+31.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.5%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 32% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £422,500 against £152,500 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

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.

The turnover behind the prices

TQ5 recorded 253 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 563 sales a year before the financial crisis and 269 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 TQ5

For renting purposes TQ5 sits in Torbay. The ONS average private rent there is £908 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £611 a month here against £1,279 for four or more bedrooms.

Set against the £275,500 median sold price, £908 a month is £10,896 a year, a gross yield of 4.0%: 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.
