In cash terms the typical TQ9 5 home went from £59,000 in 1995 to £345,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 169%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2024. 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 TQ9 5 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 (+36.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−15.2%). 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) | −6.1% | −8.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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 TQ9 5
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
TQ9 5 recorded 73 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 199 sales a year before the financial crisis and 138 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.
What homes rent for around TQ9 5
TQ9 5 falls under South Hams, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Set against the £345,000 median sold price, £1,000 a month is £12,000 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: 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 shape of the TQ9 5 market
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 TQ9, this sector trades 11% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in TQ: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the TQ area, 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £325,000 | £435,000 (+34%) | £660,000 (+52%) | £930,000 (+41%) |
