How Phipps Close, Westbury prices moved

The chart tracks the median Phipps Close, Westbury house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2019. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.

Median of the yearly medians in each decade.

The highest yearly median on record for Phipps Close, Westbury is £183,000 in 2019; the lowest is £43,750 in 1997. Across the full 23-year record the cash median has moved from £43,750 to £183,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £92,763, so the real change over the whole record is +158.0% — about +4.40% 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: +103.3% in cash against +61.8% 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. Phipps Close, Westbury is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

Section 06

Ownership and new build in Phipps Close, Westbury

0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 130 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.

CategorySalesShareMedian paid
Leasehold00.0%
Freehold130100.0%£96,000
New build10.8%£119,000
Existing home12999.2%£94,000
Shares are of the sales used on this page.

New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +26.6%. 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 10 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.

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.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of BA13, 119 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 47 violent, 2 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 37 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.4 times quieter.

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.

Phipps Close, Westbury 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.
