Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on EX31: steady sales, so price from the evidence
EX31 sees about 31 sales a month, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are thinking of selling, EX31 buyers have mostly paid between £184,500 and £480,500, so start from the nearest comparable sale and work outwards; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, EX31 sits above the UK average for typical prices, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Before an offer goes in on any EX31 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (464 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,642 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Next step: the free EX31 OfferCheck, which sets flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools next to these prices, with every source named.

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 EX31 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 9, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
EX31 2BW, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 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 EX31 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in EX31: 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

What it costs to run a home in EX31, band by band
North Devon's council tax for 2026-27 set against the EX31 median sold price of £299,975 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearNorth Devon | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £299,975 |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,284 | £440 | 1.76% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the EX31 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.
