ST EFRIDES ROAD, TQ2 5SG House Prices & Local Information

TQ2 5SG is an up-and-coming urban area on St Efrides Road, 0.2km from Wellswood in Torquay. Administratively it sits within Tormohun ward and the Torbay constituency.

This is a well-established rental postcode — a classic working-class terrace area — densely packed streets, low ethnic diversity. The daytime character shifts — areas dominated by food and entertainment. The 38 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 50% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime rates are high (171 per 1,000 residents) — commercial zones and transport hubs in the vicinity contribute to these figures. Property: With prices averaging £167k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, up 69.3% year-on-year. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
