Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on BS28: a quiet market, so take your time
Only about 4 sales a month sell in BS28, so the median can look stronger than the market really is.
If you are thinking of selling, most BS28 sales sit between £304,500 and £961,500, which makes £579,975 a blunt instrument, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check; a quick cash sale buys certainty at a cost, usually about 70–85% of market value as a rough guide, not a quote, so weigh it carefully.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, on price, BS28 is well 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.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (886 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,561 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free BS28 OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the Somerset (BS28) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £650,000 against £260,000 for flats: about 2.5 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £304,500 and £961,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (95%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 4 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled BS28 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 7 to decile 8, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
BS28 4AY, 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 BS28 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in BS28: 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 BS28, band by band
Somerset's council tax for 2026-27 set against the BS28 median sold price of £579,975 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÷ £579,975 |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,121 | £427 | 0.88% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the BS28 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.
