Section 01
How Long Street, Taunton prices moved
The chart tracks the median Long Street, Taunton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 2 | £82,500 | £183,189 |
| 2000s | 6 | £130,000 | £236,822 |
| 2010s | 4 | £222,000 | £313,020 |
| 2020s | 4 | £205,000 | £209,457 |
The highest yearly median on record for Long Street, Taunton is £275,000 in 2018; the lowest is £64,375 in 2001. Across the full 28-year record the cash median has moved from £87,250 to £205,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £184,996, so the real change over the whole record is +16.6% — about +0.57% 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: -7.7% in cash against -36.6% 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.

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 Long Street, Taunton values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Long Street, Taunton 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 62 | 36.3% | £130,000 | £20,000 – £249,950 |
| Semi-detached | 48 | 28.1% | £183,500 | £36,000 – £424,000 |
| Detached | 32 | 18.7% | £280,000 | £23,000 – £707,500 |
| Terraced | 29 | 17.0% | £149,950 | £46,000 – £300,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Long Street, Taunton
62 of the sales on record are leasehold and 109 freehold — 36.3% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £130,000 and the median freehold sale £185,000 — a gap of +42.3%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 62 | 36.3% | £130,000 |
| Freehold | 109 | 63.7% | £185,000 |
| New build | 23 | 13.5% | £137,500 |
| Existing home | 148 | 86.5% | £149,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -7.7%. 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 14 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.

Living in Long Street, Taunton
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Mid Devon, 41.1% of 39,696 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 11.0% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 484 | 1.2% |
| B | 5,119 | 12.9% |
| C | 10,723 | 27.0% |
| D | 12,062 | 30.4% |
| E | 6,931 | 17.5% |
| F | 3,245 | 8.2% |
| G | 1,132 | 2.9% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Mid Devon at £875 a month as of Jun 2026 — £639 for a one-bedroom home and £992 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £145,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.24% 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 TA4 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.

The neighbourhood around Long Street, Taunton
The 2021 census counted 82,852 residents in Mid Devon across 35,631 households. 68.7% of those households own their home and 31.2% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
10 state and independent schools have a TA4 postcode: 9 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Long Street, Taunton compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Long Street, Taunton sits below that national figure — -7.9%.
Within Taunton the street ranks 902 of 1288 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £169,500 (-14.5%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £20,000 to £707,500. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Long Street, Taunton sits in Mid Devon, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Mid Devon at 8.4 times median local earnings of £35,391 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Long Street, Taunton?
The median price paid in Long Street, Taunton across every sale on the register is £145,000. 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 Long Street, Taunton?
171 sales are on record for Long Street, Taunton, the most recent completing on 27 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Long Street, Taunton house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose -7.7% between 2011 and 2024. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -36.6%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Long Street, Taunton house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £275,000, set in 2018. 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 Long Street, Taunton?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 27 Mar 2026. 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.
