How Higher Erith Road, Torquay prices moved
The chart tracks the median Higher Erith Road, Torquay house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2025. 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 | £35,750 | £79,382 |
| 2000s | 9 | £87,500 | £159,399 |
| 2010s | 8 | £95,000 | £133,950 |
| 2020s | 5 | £115,000 | £117,500 |
The highest yearly median on record for Higher Erith Road, Torquay is £142,500 in 2017; the lowest is £30,500 in 1995. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £30,500 to £115,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £67,724, so the real change over the whole record is +73.5% — about +1.85% 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: +35.3% in cash against -2.0% 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.

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 Higher Erith Road, Torquay values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Higher Erith Road, Torquay 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 | 255 | 88.9% | £83,000 | £10,000 – £369,000 |
| Detached | 31 | 10.8% | £262,000 | £4,032 – £585,000 |
| Terraced | 1 | 0.3% | £42,500 | £42,500 – £42,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Higher Erith Road, Torquay
257 of the sales on record are leasehold and 30 freehold — 89.5% 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 £83,000 and the median freehold sale £272,000 — a gap of +227.7%. 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 | 257 | 89.5% | £83,000 |
| Freehold | 30 | 10.5% | £272,000 |
| New build | 9 | 3.1% | £87,500 |
| Existing home | 278 | 96.9% | £84,975 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +3.0%. 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 20 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 Higher Erith Road, Torquay
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Teignbridge, 40.2% of 68,510 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 8.0% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 605 | 0.9% |
| B | 8,824 | 12.9% |
| C | 18,091 | 26.4% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Teignbridge at £954 a month as of Jun 2026 — £650 for a one-bedroom home and £1,078 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £86,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 13.31% 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 TQ1, 482 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 209 violent, 12 burglary, 19 vehicle-related and 55 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.9 times busier.
Against the 134,803 residents the 2021 census counted in Teignbridge, that is 3.58 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
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.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Higher Erith Road, Torquay
The 2021 census counted 134,803 residents in Teignbridge across 59,837 households. 72.6% of those households own their home and 27.4% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
12 state and independent schools have a TQ1 postcode: 10 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Within Torquay the street ranks 687 of 769 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £136,000 (-36.8%).

Higher Erith Road, Torquay sits in Teignbridge, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Teignbridge at 8.7 times median local earnings of £34,315 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.
