How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Locks Hill | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector BA11 1 | £345,000 | £315,000 +10% since | £230,000 +50% since | £174,497 +98% since | £148,250 +133% since |
| Mendip | – | £250,000 | £190,500 | £164,000 | £147,500 |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in BA11 1, over the last five years (877 sales):
- What sells: 40% terraced, 28% flats, 19% semi-detached, 8% detached, 5% other.
- 27% sold leasehold, and 19% were new builds.
- 126 sales in the last twelve months, against 211 in the same twelve months five years ago.
