Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on TQ12: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
TQ12 is neither busy nor quiet, at about 52 sales a month, so there is a fair body of evidence, but not enough of it for a trustworthy twelve-month trend.
When selling here, detached homes typically sold for £370,000 against £135,000 for flats, which explains a spread of £154,750 to £465,500, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseFor buyers, on price, TQ12 is close to the UK average, so hold any asking price up against the sold homes of the same type.
Before you offer in TQ12, check planning history nearby (1,253 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,615 a year), and ask your conveyancer about the title.
With averages this broad, the free TQ12 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English
What the South Hams (TQ12) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £370,000 against £135,000 for flats: about 2.7 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £154,750 and £465,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 52 recorded sales a month.

These are South Hams's charges for 2026-27, the authority TQ12 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 TQ12 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 2 to decile 10, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
TQ12 4LS, 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 TQ12 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in TQ12: 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 TQ12, band by band
South Hams's council tax for 2026-27 set against the TQ12 median sold price of £280,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearSouth Hams | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £280,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,743 | £145 | 0.62% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,230 | £436 | 1.87% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the TQ12 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.
