When was the last house price crash in Bath?

Bath sits within the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset, so all sold prices from HM Land Registry are recorded at that level, taking in Keynsham, Midsomer Norton and the Chew Valley as well as the city itself. The index runs from January 1995 to March 2026, covering 31 years of market cycles.

The 1995 to 2007 boom: Bath and North East Somerset started at £63,789 in January 1995. By December 2000 the average had reached £117,285, up 83.9% in six years. The run accelerated through the early 2000s, passing £208,787 by December 2005, and the market peaked at £244,257 in September 2007.

2008 to 2009, the financial crisis: Prices fell from the September 2007 peak of £244,257 to a trough of £197,021 in May 2009, a decline of 19.3% over 20 months. The worst year-on-year reading was -16.1% in February 2009. That correction was slightly deeper than England's 18.2% fall.

Recovery, 2009 to 2013: From the May 2009 trough the market climbed steadily, and by May 2013 the average reached £245,103, the first time prices passed the September 2007 peak. That recovery took about five and a half years from peak to peak.

The 2014 to 2019 expansion: Growth ran hot through the mid-2010s. Prices rose from £269,602 in December 2014 to £300,818 by April 2016 and £326,468 by December 2018, with annual readings touching 15.4% in early 2016. The market then cooled into 2019, ending the year at £321,040 with annual growth of -1.7%.

2020 to 2022, the pandemic surge: From £333,214 in June 2020 the average ran to £378,445 by December 2021 (8.3% annual) and £410,065 by December 2022 (8.4% annual).

The 2023 rate shock: Prices eased to £404,473 by June 2023 and £403,418 by December 2023, a -1.6% annual reading.

2024 to present: Prices recovered to an all-time high of £423,566 in October 2024, then eased back to £405,568 by the latest reading in March 2026, down 4.2% from that high. The current price is 66.0% above the pre-crash peak of £244,257.

Long-term growth summary:

  • 5 years (March 2021 to March 2026): 15.0% growth (£352,792 to £405,568)
  • 10 years (March 2016 to March 2026): 32.5% growth (£306,160 to £405,568)
  • 15 years (March 2011 to March 2026): 78.9% growth (£226,716 to £405,568)
  • 20 years (March 2006 to March 2026): 100.8% growth (£201,927 to £405,568)
  • 31 years (January 1995 to March 2026): 535.8% growth (£63,789 to £405,568)

Bath's 19.3% crash was slightly deeper than England's 18.2%. An investor who bought at the exact peak in September 2007 would now be 66.0% ahead on the Land Registry average, and prices are 4.2% below the October 2024 high.

Price Per Square Foot in Bath

£136 per square foot separates Bath's cheapest postcode from its most expensive, with BA3 at £327 and BA1 at £463. Price per square foot strips out the effect of property size, though not type or condition. BA1 (City Centre North, Weston, Larkhall) commands the highest rate.

Rank Area Price Per Sq Ft
1 BA3 (Radstock, Midsomer Norton) £327
2 BS39 (Paulton, Clutton) £347
3 BS31 (Keynsham, Saltford) £393
4 BS40 (Chew Magna, Chew Stoke) £393
5 BA2 (City Centre South, Oldfield Park) £426
6 BA1 (City Centre North, Weston, Larkhall) £463

BA1 at £463 per square foot tops the table. The figure comes from 739 sales and sits £37 above BA2's £426.

For Sale Asking Prices in Bath

BA3 at £396,927 and BS40 at £610,832 sit 53.9% apart, the widest asking-price gap across Bath's six postcodes. That hierarchy roughly tracks price per square foot, but the very top is the rural Chew Valley rather than the city centre. The mean asking price across all six Bath postcodes is £478,576.

Rank Area Asking Price
1 BA3 (Radstock, Midsomer Norton) £396,927
2 BS39 (Paulton, Clutton) £417,534
3 BS31 (Keynsham, Saltford) £437,853

5 BA1 (City Centre North, Weston, Larkhall) £506,766
6 BS40 (Chew Magna, Chew Stoke) £610,832

BS40 at £610,832 is the outlier, 20.5% above the next postcode and 53.9% above BA3. The Chew Valley villages of Chew Magna and Chew Stoke are rural, with detached houses 65.9% of the stock, and this is the highest asking price in the area despite being well outside the city.

Area Sales Per Month Turnover Asking Price
BA2 (City Centre South, Oldfield Park) 55 11% £501,544
BA1 (City Centre North, Weston, Larkhall) 40 10% £506,766
BA3 (Radstock, Midsomer Norton) 33 11% £396,927
BS31 (Keynsham, Saltford) 23 13% £437,853
BS39 (Paulton, Clutton) 15 11% £417,534
BS40 (Chew Magna, Chew Stoke) 10 7% £610,832

BA2 records the most transactions at 55 a month, with BA1 next at 40. BS31 shows the highest turnover at 13%: its 23 sales a month are the largest share of the homes advertised for sale, even though its absolute volume is lower.

BS40 sits at the bottom on both counts, 10 sales a month and 7% turnover.

How Long Properties Take to Sell in Bath

Homes take an estimated 203 days to sell in BS31 (Keynsham, Saltford) and roughly 435 in BS40 (Chew Magna, Chew Stoke). The days figure is an estimate from the current pace of sales, not a measured time from listing to completion; months of unsold stock is how many months of homes are on the market at that pace, from 6.7 in BS31 to 14.3 in BS40.

Area Avg Days to Sell Months of Unsold Stock Market
BS31 (Keynsham, Saltford) 203 6.7 Balanced market
BA2 (City Centre South, Oldfield Park) 277 9.1 Balanced market
BS39 (Paulton, Clutton) 277 9.1 Balanced market
BA1 (City Centre North, Weston, Larkhall) 304 10.0 Balanced market
BA3 (Radstock, Midsomer Norton) 304 10.0 Balanced market
BS40 (Chew Magna, Chew Stoke) 435 14.3 Buyer's market

Across Bath and North East Somerset, how long a sale takes varies by postcode. Five of the six postcodes are rated balanced. BS31's estimated 203 days and 6.7 months of unsold stock are under half BS40's 435 days and 14.3 months, the only postcode rated a buyer's market, so each month's sales clear a far smaller share of the Chew Valley's listings.

What Type of Property Can You Buy in Bath?

Detached homes are the largest single category in every Bath postcode, from 38.2% of stock in BS31 to 65.9% in BS40, while the largest terrace share is in BA3 at 19.3% and the largest flat share in BA1 at 11.1%. The figures below are drawn from 2021 Census records for each postcode.

Area Detached Semi-detached Terraced Flats
BA1 (City Centre North, Weston) 52.4% 23.4% 12.8% 11.1%
BA2 (City Centre South, Oldfield Park) 48.0% 26.7% 17.4% 6.8%
BA3 (Radstock, Midsomer Norton) 45.1% 30.6% 19.3% 4.8%
BS31 (Keynsham, Saltford) 38.2% 34.2% 16.0% 10.1%
BS39 (Paulton, Clutton) 56.1% 27.8% 11.7% 4.1%
BS40 (Chew Magna, Chew Stoke) 65.9% 24.0% 5.7% 3.2%

BA1 holds the largest share of flats at 11.1%, just ahead of BS31 at 10.1%. BA1 has 12.8% terraces, fewer than BA2's 17.4% and BA3's 19.3%, the highest of the six.

BS40 is the most detached-dominated postcode at 65.9%, with the smallest flat share at 3.2%. Detached and semi-detached houses together make up close to 90% of the Chew Valley's stock, alongside the top asking price; its private rented share, 17.4%, is nonetheless the second-highest in the area behind BA2's 17.9%.

Flats combine purpose-built, converted and commercial units. A small share of mobile and temporary dwellings is not shown, so rows may not total 100%.

Average Rent & Gross Rental Yields in Bath

Gross rental yields in Bath range from 3.5% in BS40 to 4.4% in BA2. BA2 (City Centre South, Oldfield Park) tops the table because its £1,830 rent, the highest in the area, lands on an asking price that is not the highest. BS40 sits last despite the second-highest rent at £1,760, because its £610,832 asking price is the steepest in Bath. BA3 and BS39 publish no rent in this snapshot, so their yields are unknown rather than low.

Area Average Monthly Rent Asking Price Gross Yield
BA2 (City Centre South, Oldfield Park) £1,830 £501,544 4.4%
BA1 (City Centre North, Weston, Larkhall) £1,663 £506,766 3.9%
BS31 (Keynsham, Saltford) £1,313 £437,853 3.6%
BS40 (Chew Magna, Chew Stoke) £1,760 £610,832 3.5%
BA3 (Radstock, Midsomer Norton) Not enough data £396,927 Not enough data
BS39 (Paulton, Clutton) Not enough data £417,534 Not enough data

BA2's 4.4% comes from a £1,830 average rent, the highest in the area, on the third-highest asking price of £501,544. A 30% deposit there is £150,463, so the highest-yielding postcode still demands a substantial entry.

BS40 at 3.5% sits at the bottom. The £1,760 rent is the second-highest in the area, but a £610,832 asking price compresses the return.

Gross Rental Yield by Postcode

Is Bath Rent High?

Monthly rents in Bath take between 38.3% and 53.4% of the local median gross salary. The widely cited threshold for rent affordability is 30% of gross income, and every measured Bath postcode sits above it. Rents are high in pounds and prices higher still, which is why the yields stay low.

The median gross weekly salary across Bath and North East Somerset is £790.30, which equates to £3,425 per month or £41,096 per year. This is above the South West regional median of £734.00 per week and the Great Britain median of £766.60 per week. Data from the Nomis Labour Market Profile (ASHE 2025).

Rank Area Rent as % of Income
1 BA2 (City Centre South, Oldfield Park) 53.4%
2 BS40 (Chew Magna, Chew Stoke) 51.4%
3 BA1 (City Centre North, Weston, Larkhall) 48.5%
4 BS31 (Keynsham, Saltford) 38.3%
BA3 (Radstock, Midsomer Norton) Not enough data
BS39 (Paulton, Clutton) Not enough data

BS31 at 38.3% is the most affordable of the measured postcodes for tenants, on the lowest rent of the four, £1,313.

BA2 at 53.4% is the least affordable on a single median salary, on the highest rent. The ratio compares a whole home's rent with one median salary; it says nothing about how many incomes go into a tenancy.

How Big Is Bath's Private Rented Sector?

The private rented sector runs from 8.7% of households in BS31 up to 17.9% in BA2, with BS40 second at 17.4%. The table below shows household tenure by postcode.

Area Owned Outright Owned with Mortgage Private Rented Social Rented
BA2 (City Centre South, Oldfield Park) 44.5% 29.8% 17.9% 6.9%
BS40 (Chew Magna, Chew Stoke) 45.2% 32.2% 17.4% 4.6%
BA3 (Radstock, Midsomer Norton) 40.6% 32.6% 16.5% 9.5%
BA1 (City Centre North, Weston) 49.1% 30.9% 15.4% 4.2%
BS39 (Paulton, Clutton) 49.9% 33.2% 10.4% 5.9%
BS31 (Keynsham, Saltford) 45.7% 34.9% 8.7% 9.4%

BA2 has the deepest private rented sector at 17.9%, and BS40 (Chew Magna, Chew Stoke) is a close second at 17.4%, so the rural Chew Valley has a private rented share to match the student-facing city postcode. BS31 holds the smallest rented sector at 8.7%, with the highest mortgaged-ownership share at 34.9%.

The rental-demand sample is published for BA1 and BA2 only. Both are rated landlord's markets in this snapshot, with about six and eight weeks of homes to let at the current pace of lettings.

Local Housing Allowance Rates in Bath

Bath's six postcodes are split across three Broad Rental Market Areas, so Local Housing Allowance is not a single set of rates here. BA1, BA2, BA3 and BS39 fall in the Bath BRMA, BS31 in the Bristol BRMA and BS40 in the Weston-super-Mare BRMA. Local Housing Allowance sets the maximum housing support a tenant on benefits can receive, so it caps the benefit's contribution rather than the rent itself, and the actual award can be lower. The table below shows the June 2026 weekly rates for each area.

Property Size Bath BRMA (BA1, BA2, BA3, BS39) Bristol BRMA (BS31) Weston-super-Mare BRMA (BS40)
Shared accommodation £124.27 £117.68 £103.87
1 bedroom £187.56 £207.12 £133.48
2 bedrooms £225.53 £252.00 £172.60
3 bedrooms £276.16 £299.18 £212.88
4 bedrooms £447.62 £425.75 £287.67

The three rate sets matter because the same size of home draws a different maximum of housing support depending on which postcode it sits in. A two-bedroom home draws £252.00 a week in BS31 under the Bristol rates, £225.53 in the Bath postcodes and £172.60 out in BS40. The rent table above averages every home advertised in a postcode whatever its size, so the two are not a like-for-like pair: every two-bed rate sits below every postcode's average rent, while the Bath four-bed rate of £447.62 a week, about £1,940 a month, is above every average on the page. The rate is the most housing support will contribute towards the rent. The actual award can be lower, and the tenant pays whatever rent the award does not cover. To check the current rate for a specific address, you can use the government's official Local Housing Allowance calculator.

Buy-to-Let Considerations

Are House Prices High in Bath? Price-to-Earnings Ratios

Buying a property in Bath takes between 9.7 and 14.9 times the median annual salary, and every postcode sits above the national benchmark. This is based on the Nomis Labour Market Profile for Bath showing the median gross annual income for local residents is £41,096.

The national benchmark for price-to-earnings is 7.3x (England's average sold price of £289,946 divided by the Great Britain median annual salary of £39,863). None of Bath's six postcodes comes close to that line. Even the cheapest, BA3 at 9.7x, is well above the national figure, which is the clearest single measure of how stretched prices are against local wages across the whole area.

Rank Area Price-to-Earnings Ratio
1 BA3 (Radstock, Midsomer Norton) 9.7x
2 BS39 (Paulton, Clutton) 10.2x
3 BS31 (Keynsham, Saltford) 10.7x
4 BA2 (City Centre South, Oldfield Park) 12.2x
5 BA1 (City Centre North, Weston, Larkhall) 12.3x
6 BS40 (Chew Magna, Chew Stoke) 14.9x

BA3 at 9.7x has the lowest ratio in Bath relative to local earnings, but it still sits a third above the national 7.3x benchmark.

BS40 at 14.9x is more than twice the national benchmark and the most stretched ratio in the area. BS40 also has the lowest measured yield at 3.5%.

Deposit Requirements in Bath

A 30% deposit on a buy-to-let property in Bath runs from £119,078 in BA3 to £183,250 in BS40. The gap between the cheapest and most expensive deposit is £64,172. The lowest-priced postcode still asks close to £400,000. In the comparison further down, Bristol's mean asking price is £373,692 and Somerset's £387,446, both below Bath's £478,576.

Beyond the deposit, the stamp duty calculator buy to let and other buy to let costs affect the total capital required.

Rank Area 30% Deposit Required
1 BA3 (Radstock, Midsomer Norton) £119,078
2 BS39 (Paulton, Clutton) £125,260
3 BS31 (Keynsham, Saltford) £131,356
4 BA2 (City Centre South, Oldfield Park) £150,463
5 BA1 (City Centre North, Weston, Larkhall) £152,030
6 BS40 (Chew Magna, Chew Stoke) £183,250

BA3 is the cheapest way into the area at a £119,078 deposit, and it pairs that with the most affordable price-to-earnings ratio and a 16.5% five-year growth figure. BA3 publishes no rent in this snapshot, so its yield is unknown.

BS31 and BA2 are £19,107 apart on deposit. BS31 (Keynsham, Saltford) has the strongest five-year growth in the area at 19.2% and the lowest rent-to-income ratio, while BA2 (City Centre South, Oldfield Park) has the top yield at 4.4% and the largest private rented share at 17.9%.

The University of Bath and Bath Spa University provide student-demand context, with student housing concentrated around BA2 and the city centre where smaller flats and terraces are more common. The live room-advert sample below records similar weekly room rates in BA1 and BA2; it does not establish occupancy or a net HMO return. Student lets can also involve seasonal voids and more management than a standard tenancy.

On the HMO side, a sample of current room adverts puts a double room with a shared bathroom at around £176 a week in BA1 (26 adverts, with the middle 80% between £137 and £219) and £177 a week in BA2 (57 adverts, between £145 and £220).
