Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on EX39: steady sales, so price from the evidence
At around 35 sales a month, EX39 ticks along steadily, which is enough to price from, though not enough history for us to call a clear twelve-month direction.
If you are thinking of selling, a spread from £145,000 to £460,500 makes £249,000 a poor guide to any one home, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; roughly 35 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, EX39 sits below the UK average for typical prices, so a lower price than the average is a prompt to ask why, not a reason to relax.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (132 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,642 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
Averages only go so far, so the free EX39 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the North Devon (EX39) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £360,000 against £138,000 for flats: about 2.6 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £145,000 and £460,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (92%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 35 recorded sales a month.

These are North Devon's charges for 2026-27, the authority EX39 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 EX39 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 2 to decile 8, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
EX39 1RY, 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 EX39 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in EX39: 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 EX39, band by band
North Devon's council tax for 2026-27 set against the EX39 median sold price of £249,000 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 EX39 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.
