How Butts, Ilminster prices moved
The chart tracks the median Butts, Ilminster house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1998 to 2022. 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 | 1 | £35,950 | £79,826 |
| 2000s | 2 | £69,900 | £127,337 |
| 2010s | 1 | £137,500 | £193,875 |
| 2020s | 2 | £212,000 | £216,609 |
The highest yearly median on record for Butts, Ilminster is £223,463 in 2021; the lowest is £35,950 in 1998. Across the full 25-year record the cash median has moved from £35,950 to £212,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £74,543, so the real change over the whole record is +229.5% — about +5.09% 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: +91.0% in cash against +19.3% 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.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Butts, Ilminster is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 72 | 83.7% | £125,000 | £23,630 – £261,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Butts, Ilminster
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 86 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 | 86 | 100.0% | £135,250 |
A further 1 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.
Section 09
How Butts, Ilminster compares

Within Ilminster the street ranks 159 of 189 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £183,000 (-26.1%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,801 per square metre, across 20 of the 86 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Butts, Ilminster?
The median price paid in Butts, Ilminster across every sale on the register is £135,250. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Butts, Ilminster?
86 sales are on record for Butts, Ilminster, the most recent completing on 12 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +91.0% between 2004 and 2022. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +19.3%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Butts, Ilminster house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £223,463, 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 Butts, Ilminster?
£1,801 per square metre, from the 20 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.
