Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on TA2: steady sales, so price from the evidence
At around 38 sales a month, TA2 ticks along steadily, a pace that gives buyers and sellers something to compare, without a year-on-year figure we would stand behind.
If you are thinking of selling, a spread from £153,600 to £475,300 makes £270,000 a poor guide to any one home, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, typical prices in TA2 sit close to the UK average, so the sold homes of your type are the yardstick to hold an asking price to.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (192 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,561 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
With averages this broad, the free TA2 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the Somerset (TA2) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £393,750 against £141,250 for flats: about 2.8 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £153,600 and £475,300, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (91%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 38 recorded sales a month.

These are Somerset's charges for 2026-27, the authority TA2 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 TA2 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.
TA2 6RJ, 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 TA2 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in TA2: 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 TA2, band by band
Somerset's council tax for 2026-27 set against the TA2 median sold price of £270,000 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÷ £270,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,707 | £142 | 0.63% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,992 | £166 | 0.74% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,121 | £427 | 1.90% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the TA2 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.
