How Lower Park, Minehead prices moved
The chart tracks the median Lower Park, Minehead house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2004 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 1 | £220,000 | £400,775 |
| 2010s | 1 | £302,500 | £426,525 |
| 2020s | 1 | £467,500 | £477,663 |
The highest yearly median on record for Lower Park, Minehead is £467,500 in 2022; the lowest is £220,000 in 2004. Across the full 19-year record the cash median has moved from £220,000 to £467,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £408,158, so the real change over the whole record is +32.7% — about +1.58% 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: +112.5% in cash against +32.7% 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 Lower Park, Minehead values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here

Ownership and new build in Lower Park, Minehead

| Freehold | 80 | 100.0% | £273,000 |

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 £273,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 4.40% 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.

Lower Park, Minehead 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.
