TQ7 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside TQ7 (Kingsbridge). 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.

In cash terms the typical TQ7 1 home went from £56,500 in 1995 to £245,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 99%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 44% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the TQ7 1 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 (+41.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−25.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −25.8% | −27.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.0% | −8.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.9% | −1.8% |
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.
Sales activity in TQ7 1
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 34 sales completed in TQ7 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 165 sales a year before the financial crisis and 99 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.
What kind of market TQ7 1 is
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TQ7 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within TQ7, this sector trades 27% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around TQ7 1
The local authority for TQ7 1 is South Hams, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,000 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £728 a month here against £1,613 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, South Hams
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £245,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,000 a month (£12,000 a year) works out at a 4.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Moving up a bedroom in TQ: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the TQ area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
