Section 02
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 Somerset Place, Totnes 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. Somerset Place, Totnes 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 | 25 | 53.2% | £275,000 | £52,000 – £575,000 |
| Semi-detached | 11 | 23.4% | £141,000 | £30,000 – £354,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 8 | 17.0% | £87,500 | £38,000 – £240,000 |
| Detached | 3 | 6.4% | £475,000 | £350,000 – £545,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Somerset Place, Totnes
4 of the sales on record are leasehold and 43 freehold — 8.5% 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 £64,750 and the median freehold sale £225,000 — a gap of +247.5%. 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 | 4 | 8.5% | £64,750 |
| Freehold | 43 | 91.5% | £225,000 |
| New build | 1 | 2.1% | £49,000 |
| Existing home | 46 | 97.9% | £215,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -77.2%. 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.

Living in Somerset Place, Totnes
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across South Hams, 36.3% of 52,222 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 12.0% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 775 | 1.5% |
| B | 6,359 | 12.2% |
| C | 11,843 | 22.7% |
| D | 16,680 | 31.9% |
| E | 10,298 | 19.7% |
| F | 4,645 | 8.9% |
| G | 1,622 | 3.1% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in South Hams at £1,005 a month as of Jun 2026 — £732 for a one-bedroom home and £1,130 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £210,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 5.74% 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 TQ9, 10 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 1 violent, 0 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 5 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 16.7 times quieter.
Against the 88,627 residents the 2021 census counted in South Hams, that is 0.11 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 Somerset Place, Totnes
The 2021 census counted 88,627 residents in South Hams across 39,337 households. 72.1% of those households own their home and 27.9% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
11 state and independent schools have a TQ9 postcode: 10 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 Somerset Place, Totnes compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Somerset Place, Totnes sits above that national figure — +33.3%.
Within Totnes the street ranks 220 of 368 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £235,000 (-10.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £4,034 per square metre, across 6 of the 47 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 £30,000 to £575,000. 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.
Somerset Place, Totnes sits in South Hams, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in South Hams at 11.4 times median local earnings of £32,086 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.
