Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on BA16: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
Roughly 15 homes a month change hands in BA16, so there is a fair body of evidence, but not enough of it for a trustworthy twelve-month trend.
For sellers, £260,000 is only the middle of a market that runs from £126,850 to £432,000, so the closest sold homes of your type say much more than the middle; roughly 15 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseWhen buying here, on price, BA16 is close to the UK average, so use the sold range on this page as your yardstick.
Before you offer in BA16, check planning history nearby (835 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,561 a year), and ask your conveyancer about the title.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free BA16 OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the Somerset (BA16) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £389,000 against £125,500 for flats: about 3.1 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £126,850 and £432,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 15 recorded sales a month.

These are Somerset's charges for 2026-27, the authority BA16 falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled BA16 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 9, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
BA16 0JE, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 5 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so BA16 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in BA16: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in BA16, band by band
Somerset's council tax for 2026-27 set against the BA16 median sold price of £260,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearSomerset | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £260,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,707 | £142 | 0.66% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,992 | £166 | 0.77% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,121 | £427 | 1.97% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the BA16 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
