How College Close, Minehead prices moved
The chart tracks the median College Close, Minehead house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2013 to 2015. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010s | 3 | £190,000 | £267,900 |
The highest yearly median on record for College Close, Minehead is £204,000 in 2013; the lowest is £187,000 in 2015. Across the full 3-year record the cash median has moved from £204,000 to £187,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £297,456, so the real change over the whole record is -11.4% — about -5.85% 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.
Section 02
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. College Close, Minehead 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 | 38 | 62.3% | £187,500 | £150,000 – £335,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in College Close, Minehead
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 61 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 | 61 | 100.0% | £194,500 |
| New build | 43 | 70.5% | £192,000 |
| Existing home | 18 | 29.5% | £245,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -21.6%. 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 2 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.

Against the median sale of £194,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.17% 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.
No street-level crime was published for TA24 in Jun 2026. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.
