How Needhams Patch, Taunton prices moved
The chart tracks the median Needhams Patch, Taunton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2011. 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 | 1 | £114,500 | £254,244 |
| 2000s | 7 | £159,725 | £290,972 |
| 2010s | 1 | £181,875 | £256,444 |
The highest yearly median on record for Needhams Patch, Taunton is £195,000 in 2006; the lowest is £93,500 in 2000. Across the full 13-year record the cash median has moved from £114,500 to £181,875.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £233,302, so the real change over the whole record is +19.5% — about +1.49% 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: +36.7% in cash against +6.9% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Needhams Patch, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 51 | 41.1% | £170,000 | £80,000 – £480,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Needhams Patch, Taunton
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 124 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 | 124 | 100.0% | £161,975 |
| New build | 45 | 36.3% | £93,500 |
| Existing home | 79 | 63.7% | £185,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -49.5%. 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.

Against the median sale of £161,975 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.48% 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.

When were Needhams Patch, Taunton house prices at their highest?
