Today's PL19 prices, from the sold record
The 2026 median for PL19 is £263,800, taken from 110 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £313,100, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
Price per square metre in PL19
The last five years of sales put PL19 at roughly £3,420 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, PL19 runs 7% below it.

In cash terms the typical PL19 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £263,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 113%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 32% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PL19 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2001 (+29.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £467,500 against £154,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 227 PL19 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 378 sales a year before the financial crisis and 272 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.
The rental side of PL19
The local authority for PL19 is West Devon, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £839 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £598 a month here against £1,342 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, West Devon
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £263,800 median sold price, £839 a month is £10,068 a year, a gross yield of 3.8%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
Reading the PL19 market
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.
Common questions on PL19 (Bradstone)
How much did a house sell for in PL19 (Bradstone)?
Are property prices falling in PL19 (Bradstone)?
Is PL19 (Bradstone) a good place to buy a house?
What happens to PL19 prices now?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 14% over five years in cash but down 32% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
The PL19 sales calendar
September is when PL19 changes hands most (10.4% of the 1,687 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 6.1%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 103 | 6.1% |
| February | 126 | 7.5% |

Moving up a bedroom in PL: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the PL area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £262,625 | £300,000 (+14%) | £347,000 (+16%) | £435,000 (+25%) | £584,500 (+34%) |
| Semi-detached | £180,000 | £220,000 (+22%) | £242,000 (+10%) | £280,000 (+16%) | £332,500 (+19%) |
| Terraced | £162,500 | £190,000 (+17%) | £210,000 (+11%) | £260,000 (+24%) | £283,000 (+9%) |
| Flat | £112,750 | £137,500 (+22%) | £165,000 (+20%) | £249,000 (+51%) | £317,500 (+28%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
