How The Beacon, Ilminster prices moved
The chart tracks the median The Beacon, Ilminster house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2003 to 2019. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 2 | £207,500 | £378,004 |
| 2010s | 1 | £400,000 | £564,000 |
The highest yearly median on record for The Beacon, Ilminster is £400,000 in 2019; the lowest is £207,500 in 2003. Across the full 17-year record the cash median has moved from £207,500 to £400,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £392,192, so the real change over the whole record is +33.4% — about +1.82% 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: +34.5% in cash against +1.2% 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in The Beacon, Ilminster?
The median price paid in The Beacon, Ilminster across every sale on the register is £272,500. 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 The Beacon, Ilminster?
66 sales are on record for The Beacon, Ilminster, the most recent completing on 16 Oct 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have The Beacon, Ilminster house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +34.5% between 2007 and 2019. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +1.2%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were The Beacon, Ilminster house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £400,000, set in 2019. 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 The Beacon, Ilminster?
£1,873 per square metre, from the 26 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.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 16 Oct 2025. 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.
