Devon, in numbers

Average home prices reached £303,000 in Devon.

Devon County Council area. July 2026. Every figure carries its own date.

Devon county services cover coastal towns, market towns and rural communities; Plymouth and Torbay are separate council areas. Current projects link rail access and town-centre traffic with housing growth. A new road or station should be judged by the journeys and services it enables.

Data table and workings

Published UK House Price Index average price, all property types and all buyers, not seasonally adjusted. Entire series comes from the 2026-07 official full-file release, preserving its historical revisions and exact area codes. It is a mix-adjusted average, not the median price paid.

Prices are in pounds at the time, not adjusted for inflation.

Whole local authority area; not a typical home listing or the budget needed by a first-time buyer.

Provisional estimates can be revised. Historical boundaries follow the exact published source code; no old-code series has been relabelled.

The table retains the full reviewed history when the chart is shortened. Preset ranges end at this measure’s latest published period. Yearly windows count published annual periods; monthly windows count months. Gaps are never filled with estimates.

East Devon District Council

East Devon →

East Devon’s growing communities need services as well as homes, while coastal towns face repair and access pressures. Cranbrook’s business and community space has planning permission, but its health centre still needs running funds. Separate pool repairs have been completed in Exmouth, Honiton and Sidmouth. At Connaught Gardens, the council is still working through safe repair options.

Mid Devon’s programme reaches smaller towns and villages. New homes have been completed in Bampton and Hemyock, pool lifts are in use in Tiverton and Crediton, and Cullompton’s relief road is under construction. Completed homes, ready-to-use facilities and a future road opening are different milestones.

North Devon is building a council housing programme alongside improvements to its town centres. The first partnership homes are available in Barnstaple, work has begun on vacant buildings in Ilfracombe, and a community woodland purchase has been approved. A renewed building or approved purchase needs to be followed through to long-term public use.

South Hams →

South Hams has brought nine temporary homes into use in Kingsbridge, with support available in the building. Energy projects cover homes, council premises and a community-owned proposal at Totnes. These are different stages of delivery: a funded plan must still become a working service, and temporary housing must lead towards a settled home.

Teignbridge’s housing programme is adding smaller social-rent homes in Newton Abbot, while the market and nearby streets are being renewed. Construction at Sherborne started in May 2026. Market building work is complete, but the reviewed update still treats public opening as a later step. A finished building and a successful operating service should be judged separately.

Torridge →

Torridge’s new operational centre is in use, while the Appledore Maritime Innovation Centre is nearing completion with an opening forecast for early 2027. Housing projects aim to reduce reliance on unsuitable emergency accommodation. New facilities need tenants, support and affordable running costs before their intended benefits can be established.

West Devon has a new rail gateway at Okehampton, while its leisure services needed a replacement operator after Fusion entered administration. Local meadow projects offer another way for communities to improve shared spaces. The next test is practical use: reliable connections, affordable facilities and habitats maintained beyond an initial event.

What is still missing

The reviewed local schemes are a selected evidence collection, not a complete council capital programme.

Current service capacity, incomes, waiting lists, school demand and project outcomes need additional verified local evidence before firm claims can be made.

Selected council projects and issues, not a complete council programme. Delivery stages describe the dated source; elapsed planned dates do not prove completion.

Action steps are UK Facts proposals for scrutiny and delivery, not council commitments, funded promises or deadlines.

Project locations do not establish ward-wide impact. Missing cost or funding means unverified, not zero.

A direct council area and its member districts must not be added together. County wards are district wards, not county electoral divisions.

Sources and calculations are traceable, but this is not independent AQuA Book assurance or certification.
