Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on BS40: a quiet market, so take your time
BS40 is a thin market, at roughly 14 sales a month, so no single figure here should carry much weight, and the individual sold homes are the better guide.
If you are selling, most BS40 sales sit between £255,000 and £1,001,100, which makes £481,000 a blunt instrument, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check; cash buyers typically offer around 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote), which only makes sense if certainty is worth that much to you.
Sell houseIf you are buying, BS40 sits well above the UK average for typical prices, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
On any BS40 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (57 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,383 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free BS40 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the Bath and North East Somerset (BS40) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £595,000 against £327,500 for terraced homes: about 1.8 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £255,000 and £1,001,100, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (98%) 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 14 recorded sales a month.

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 BS40 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 7 to decile 9, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
BS40 5AF, 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 BS40 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in BS40: 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.

What it costs to run a home in BS40, band by band
Bath and North East Somerset's council tax for 2026-27 set against the BS40 median sold price of £481,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the BS40 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.
