In cash terms the typical TQ8 8 home went from £96,000 in 1995 to £605,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 190%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 45% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the TQ8 8 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 (+39.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−17.7%). 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) | −17.7% | −19.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.2% | −8.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.0% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in TQ8 8
The year-by-year sales count
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 10 TQ8 8 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 90 sales a year before the financial crisis and 51 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 TQ8 8 is
Only 10 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TQ8 8 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.
Rents around TQ8 8
For renting purposes TQ8 8 sits in South Hams. The ONS average private rent there is £1,000 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £605,000 median sold price, £1,000 a month is £12,000 a year, a gross yield of 2.0%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: TQ prices by size
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.

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