Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on BS26: a quiet market, so take your time
BS26 has seen just 250 sales since April 2023, and prices are up on last year, but on few sales, so treat the rise as a hint rather than a trend.
If you are selling, with detached homes at £522,498 and flats at £145,000, the £119,278 to £800,000 spread is really several markets, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseIf you are buying, on price, BS26 is above the UK average, and still climbing, so test the asking price against recent sold homes of the same type before you stretch to meet it.
On any BS26 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (45 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,491 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free BS26 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the North Somerset (BS26) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £522,498 against £145,000 for flats: about 3.6 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £119,278 and £800,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is a quiet district: only about 6 recorded sales a month.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

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 BS26 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 6 to decile 7, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
BS26 2QW, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 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 BS26 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in BS26: 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 BS26, band by band
North Somerset's council tax for 2026-27 set against the BS26 median sold price of £347,600 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearNorth Somerset | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £347,600 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| H | over £320,000 | £4,982 | £415 | 1.43% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the BS26 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.
