Sales at the postcodes ONS places in Dawlish: standard sales of homes at market value. A typical price is the median, the middle sale. Sales take weeks to be registered, so the last month or two are incomplete. Each postcode page gives the figure for its own postcode sector.

Are new homes being built in Dawlish?

18 of the 395 postcodes now in use in Dawlish came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 30 of the 225 homes sold in Dawlish were newly built (13%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the EX7 district, 18%.

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.

Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.

Is Dawlish at risk of flooding?

41 of the 395 postcodes in Dawlish have a home or business in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, the Environment Agency says. At those, it puts 378 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 41 of 395 postcodes High: 276Medium: 102Low: 164Very low: 22

Homes and businesses in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, as the Environment Agency counts them, added up over the postcodes. It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.

Each crime is moved to the nearest of a fixed list of map points, each over a street centre, a public place or a commercial premises, chosen so that every point covers at least eight addresses or none. A mile is a wide circle: in a town it takes in the centre and its shops, where much crime is recorded.
