Torquay property market: common questions
Where is Torquay?
Torquay is in Devon.
What is the average house price in Torquay?
The median asking price across the 877 homes for sale in Torquay is £240,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £165,000 and £375,000. That is 26% below Devon. Homes that actually sold in Torquay went for a median £218,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Torquay rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, but falling over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Torquay is up 36% over the last 10 years and down 3% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Torquay cheaper than Devon?
Yes: asking prices in Torquay are typically lower than across Devon. The median asking price in Torquay is £240,000 against £325k across Devon: 26% below Devon. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The saving holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How much do flats and houses cost in Torquay?
The median asking price for a flat in Torquay is £175,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £240,000 across 187 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Torquay?

How much is a three-bedroom house in Torquay?
There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Torquay is terraced houses, at a median asking price of £232,500 across 85 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.
What is the price per square foot in Torquay?
In Torquay, homes that sold went for a median £249 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £267 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (877 in Torquay), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Torquay since May 2026.
- Devon comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Devon, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
