Walcot property market: common questions

Where is Walcot?

Walcot is in central Bath, in Somerset. Figures for Walcot cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

What is the average house price in Walcot?

The median asking price across the 284 homes for sale in Walcot is £495,000 (as of 4 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 £340,000 and £831,250. That is 4% above Bath. Homes that actually sold in Walcot went for a median £462,500 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Are house prices in Walcot 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 Walcot is up 28% 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 Walcot cheaper than Bath?

No: asking prices in Walcot are typically higher than across Bath. The median asking price in Walcot is £495,000 against £475k across Bath: 4% above Bath. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value.

How many homes are for sale in Walcot?

284 homes are on the market in Walcot right now, broadly unchanged since 31 Aug, 69 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.

Are house prices being cut in Walcot?

32 listings in Walcot had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 11% of the homes currently for sale.

How long are homes on the market in Walcot?

Of the Walcot listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 89 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.

How much do flats and houses cost in Walcot?

The median asking price for a flat in Walcot is £375,000. 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 £900,000 across 65 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How much is a two-bedroom flat in Walcot?

The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Walcot is £412,500, across 66 current listings.

How much is a three-bedroom house in Walcot?

There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Walcot is terraced houses, at a median asking price of £687,500 across 20 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.

What is the price per square foot in Walcot?

In Walcot, homes that sold went for a median £504 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £507 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (284 in Walcot), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Walcot cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
  • 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 Walcot since August 2025.
  • Bath comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Bath, 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.
