What do homes cost in Tavistock?

Homes in Tavistock sold for a typical £260,000 in the 12 months to September 2026, across 165 sales, HM Land Registry's figures show. The 12 months before gave £280,000 from 244 sales: not a change larger than chance would explain, given which homes happened to sell.

£260,000 typical price, the 12 months to September 2026
£280,000 12 months to September 2025
  • Detached £432,500 42 sales
  • Semi-detached £290,000 39 sales
  • Terraced £222,000 52 sales
  • Flat or maisonette £159,500 32 sales

Each bar is that kind's typical price, against the most expensive kind here.

Across the whole PL19 district, Tavistock's main postcode district: a typical £287,000.

Sales at the postcodes ONS places in Tavistock: 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 Tavistock?

27 of the 415 postcodes now in use in Tavistock came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to September 2025, 1 of the 244 homes sold in Tavistock were newly built (Under 1%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the PL19 district, 4%.

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.

New homes among the homes sold

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 Tavistock at risk of flooding?

110 of the 415 postcodes in Tavistock 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 650 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 110 of 415 postcodes High: 507Medium: 143Low: 519

High: 3.3% or more a year (1 in 30). Medium: 1% to 3.3% a year. Low: 0.1% to 1% a year. Very low: under 0.1% a year (1 in 1,000). Each band is the chance of flooding in any one year.

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.
