Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on TQ8: a quiet market, so take your time
TQ8 is a thin market, at roughly 5 sales a month, and prices have drifted down, so sellers should plan for a longer sale and buyers can afford to be patient.
If you are selling, most TQ8 sales sit between £334,000 and £1,883,250, which makes £772,500 a blunt instrument, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; sales are too rare here to hurry, so give the price a local agent’s sense-check; a quick cash sale buys certainty at a cost, usually about 70–85% of market value as a rough guide, not a quote, so weigh it carefully.
Sell houseIf you are buying, TQ8 sits well above the UK average for typical prices, though prices have eased, so there may be room to negotiate; just remember one year of falls is not a forecast.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (2,573 applications on record within 500 m), the tenure (leasehold is common here) and whether the home is at risk of flooding, plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free TQ8 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the South Hams (TQ8) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £1,100,000 against £615,000 for terraced homes: about 1.8 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £334,000 and £1,883,250, so the median says little about any one home.
- 31% of these sales were leasehold: a genuine mix of houses and flats, so check the tenure of the home you are looking at.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.
- This is a quiet district: only about 5 recorded sales a month.

That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row.

What it costs to run a home in TQ8, band by band
South Hams's council tax for 2026-27 set against the TQ8 median sold price of £772,500 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 TQ8 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.
