How Thames Drive, Taunton prices moved
The chart tracks the median Thames Drive, Taunton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2020. 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 | 5 | £54,000 | £119,906 |
| 2000s | 8 | £121,000 | £220,426 |
| 2010s | 4 | £165,000 | £232,650 |
| 2020s | 1 | £215,000 | £219,674 |
The highest yearly median on record for Thames Drive, Taunton is £215,000 in 2020; the lowest is £47,623 in 1995. Across the full 26-year record the cash median has moved from £47,623 to £215,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £105,744, so the real change over the whole record is +163.3% — about +3.95% 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: +30.3% in cash against +5.7% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Thames Drive, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 119 | 56.7% | £115,000 | £25,800 – £230,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Thames Drive, Taunton
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 210 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 | 210 | 100.0% | £124,000 |
A further 6 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 Thames Drive, Taunton
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Somerset, 45.0% of 296,416 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 7.1% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

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 £124,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 9.68% 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.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of TA1, 361 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 118 violent, 11 burglary, 13 vehicle-related and 67 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.2 times busier.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

How Thames Drive, Taunton compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Thames Drive, Taunton sits below that national figure — -21.3%.
Within Taunton the street ranks 1079 of 1288 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £169,500 (-26.8%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,130 per square metre, across 63 of the 210 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £25,800 to £350,000. 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.
Thames Drive, Taunton 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Thames Drive, Taunton?

When were Thames Drive, Taunton house prices at their highest?

The latest sale shown here completed on 2 Oct 2025. 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.
