How Rivers Reach, Frome prices moved
The chart tracks the median Rivers Reach, Frome house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1998 to 2021. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2 | £57,750 | £128,232 |
| 2000s | 9 | £132,000 | £240,465 |
| 2010s | 2 | £172,500 | £243,225 |
| 2020s | 1 | £273,000 | £278,935 |
The highest yearly median on record for Rivers Reach, Frome is £273,000 in 2021; the lowest is £57,750 in 1999. Across the full 24-year record the cash median has moved from £65,000 to £273,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £134,779, so the real change over the whole record is +155.9% — about +4.17% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +64.7% in cash against +24.0% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Rivers Reach, Frome values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Rivers Reach, Frome is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 168 | 72.7% | £117,000 | £53,000 – £319,000 |
| Semi-detached | 36 | 15.6% | £120,000 | £71,250 – £370,000 |
| Detached | 27 | 11.7% | £170,000 | £79,000 – £325,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Rivers Reach, Frome
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 231 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 231 | 100.0% | £120,000 |
| New build | 82 | 35.5% | £70,575 |
| Existing home | 149 | 64.5% | £149,950 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -52.9%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 5 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in Rivers Reach, Frome
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Somerset, 45.0% of 296,416 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 7.1% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 2,239 | 0.8% |
| B | 39,014 | 13.2% |
| C | 92,251 | 31.1% |
| D | 96,815 | 32.7% |
| E | 44,939 | 15.2% |
| F | 16,160 | 5.5% |
| G | 4,998 | 1.7% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Somerset at £1,000 a month as of Jun 2026 — £680 for a one-bedroom home and £1,117 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £120,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 10.00% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of BA11, 240 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 83 violent, 3 burglary, 5 vehicle-related and 40 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.4 times busier.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Within Frome the street ranks 420 of 505 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £161,000 (-25.5%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,948 per square metre, across 91 of the 231 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Rivers Reach, Frome sits in Somerset, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Somerset at 8.0 times median local earnings of £35,440 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Rivers Reach, Frome?

When were Rivers Reach, Frome house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £273,000, set in 2021. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Rivers Reach, Frome?
£1,948 per square metre, from the 91 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.

The latest sale shown here completed on 16 Jan 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
