Frome House Prices: What’s Happened in the Last 5 Years
This map shows how house prices have changed across Frome over the past 5 years. Any blue areas shows any drop in house prices. The lighter yellow areas represent the parts of Frome where average house prices have seen smallest rises, the orange shades in the middle increases, while any deeper reds show the strongest house price growth.
It is a fascinating picture because it highlights how no two areas perform in quite the same way. Even within the same town, some pockets have surged ahead while others have grown more modestly. That is the beauty of the local property market, every street has its own story, and averages can only tell part of it.

How big is the average UK home?
This map shows the average size of homes sold in each region of the UK since 2020. The figures are in square feet and based on completed sales. When you look at the spread of results, the first thing that stands out is how similar most regions are. Given the wide kaleidoscope of different property types across the UK, from terraces to detached homes to apartments, the average size hardly moves at all. The main exception is Northern Ireland, where homes are noticeably larger on average.

The October Property Market Slips… But Don’t Be Fooled
The number of UK homes sold subject to contract in October 2025 slipped 2.6% compared with October 2024, falling from 114,275 to 111,314. It is the kind of statistic that grabs attention, and some will no doubt use it as proof that the market is softening.
London carried most of the decline, down 11.7% overall. When London is split down, Inner London dropped 14.1% and Outer London 8.9%. However, as number of house sales in London only represents a small portion of the national home sales, meaning that even sharp London falls barely dent overall UK figures. (Inner London house sales went from 7,065 in October 2024 to 6,070 sales in October 2025 and Outer London went from 5,031 house sales in October 2024 to 4,620 in October 2025.)
