Bolventor market report PL15 9, Launceston

The standing PL15 9 (Bolventor) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,108 sales registered with HM Land Registry in PL15 9 (Launceston) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

In short: the middle 2026 sale in PL15 9 (Launceston) came in at £211,200, out of 36 registered, down 5% on five years earlier, and the mean stands at £232,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,800 per square metre over the last five years. The record behind it is 4,108 completed sales lodged with HM Land Registry since 1995, monthly refreshed, with no valuations or asking prices anywhere in the figures.

PL15 9 is one sector of PL15 (Launceston): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

The going rate for a home in PL15 9

Take the 36 registered 2026 sales in PL15 9 and the middle price, the median, is £211,200. The mean lands at £232,100, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.

Price per square metre in PL15 9

Measured by floor area, the last five years of PL15 9 sales average about £2,800 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, PL15 9 sits 26% below the national market.

In cash terms the typical PL15 9 home went from £47,700 in 1995 to £211,200 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 104%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 30% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

The strongest year on record here is 2001 (+36.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−14.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years

The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.

The turnover behind the prices

The register shows 36 PL15 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 163 sales a year before the financial crisis and 97 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.

What kind of market PL15 9 is

This is a thin market: 36 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within PL15, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Rents around PL15 9

For renting purposes PL15 9 sits in Cornwall. The ONS average private rent there is £1,003 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £691 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,510 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

£1,003 a month is £12,036 a year, which against the £211,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Common questions on PL15 9 (Bolventor)

What happens to PL15 9 prices now?

The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is down 5% over five years in cash but down 25% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.
