Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on TQ4: steady sales, so price from the evidence
TQ4 is neither busy nor quiet, at about 28 sales a month, which is enough to price from, though not enough history for us to call a clear twelve-month direction.
If you are selling, with detached homes at £367,500 and flats at £152,500, the £125,000 to £427,100 spread is really several markets, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; roughly 28 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseIf you are buying, typical prices in TQ4 sit below the UK average, so find out why prices run lower here before deciding it is good value.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (181 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,470 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free TQ4 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Torbay (TQ4) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £367,500 against £152,500 for flats: about 2.4 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £125,000 and £427,100, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 28 recorded sales a month.

These are Torbay's charges for 2026-27, the authority TQ4 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.

Across the 12 sampled TQ4 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 1 to decile 7, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
TQ4 7AD, 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 TQ4 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in TQ4: 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
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in TQ4, band by band
Torbay's council tax for 2026-27 set against the TQ4 median sold price of £250,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearTorbay | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £250,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,647 | £137 | 0.66% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,921 | £160 | 0.77% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,196 | £183 | 0.88% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,470 | £206 | 0.99% |

| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,568 | £297 | 1.43% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,941 | £412 | 1.98% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the TQ4 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.
