How St Michaels Gardens, South Petherton prices moved
The chart tracks the median St Michaels Gardens, South Petherton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2001 to 2024. 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 | 3 | £220,000 | £400,775 |
| 2010s | 6 | £300,000 | £423,000 |
| 2020s | 3 | £395,000 | £403,587 |
The highest yearly median on record for St Michaels Gardens, South Petherton is £440,000 in 2023; the lowest is £180,000 in 2009. Across the full 24-year record the cash median has moved from £220,000 to £395,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £431,433, so the real change over the whole record is -3.7% — about -0.16% 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: +24.1% in cash against -9.0% 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.

Section 06
Ownership and new build in St Michaels Gardens, South Petherton
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 126 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 | 126 | 100.0% | £281,500 |
| New build | 37 | 29.4% | £220,000 |
| Existing home | 89 | 70.6% | £315,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -30.2%. 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 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 St Michaels Gardens, South Petherton compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. St Michaels Gardens, South Petherton sits above that national figure — +78.7%.
Within South Petherton the street ranks 19 of 69 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £212,250 (+32.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,559 per square metre, across 39 of the 126 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
