How Rope Walk, Wellington prices moved
The chart tracks the median Rope Walk, Wellington house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2005. 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 | £116,995 | £259,784 |
| 2000s | 2 | £123,995 | £225,882 |
The highest yearly median on record for Rope Walk, Wellington is £225,000 in 2005; the lowest is £116,995 in 1999. Across the full 7-year record the cash median has moved from £116,995 to £225,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £238,386, so the real change over the whole record is +71.9% — about +9.45% 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: +92.3% in cash against +71.9% 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. Rope Walk, Wellington 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 | 77 | 100.0% | £149,500 | £85,950 – £435,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Rope Walk, Wellington
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 77 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 | 77 | 100.0% | £149,500 |
| New build | 31 | 40.3% | £116,995 |
| Existing home | 46 | 59.7% | £225,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -48.0%. 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.

Living in Rope Walk, Wellington
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.

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 £149,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.02% 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 TA21, 90 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 45 violent, 1 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 18 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.9 times quieter.
Against the 82,852 residents the 2021 census counted in Mid Devon, that is 1.09 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.

Rope Walk, Wellington 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.

When were Rope Walk, Wellington house prices at their highest?

The latest sale shown here completed on 8 Jan 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.
