Beacon Park market report PL2 2, Plymouth
The PL2 2 (Beacon Park) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 4,570 HM Land Registry entries for PL2 2 (Plymouth), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 71 registered 2026 sales put the PL2 2 (Plymouth) median at £200,000, up 18% on five years earlier, with a mean of £207,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,340 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,570 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
PL2 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PL2 (Plymouth). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical PL2 2 home went from £33,000 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 179%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 10% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PL2 2 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 2004 (+37.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +9.3% | +6.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
PL2 2 recorded 71 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 188 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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 homes rent for around PL2 2
The local authority for PL2 2 is Plymouth, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £994 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £698 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,479, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Plymouth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £200,000 median purchase price, a rent of £994 a month (£11,928 a year) works out at a 6.0% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

Are property prices falling in PL2 2 (Beacon Park)?
Is PL2 2 (Beacon Park) a good place to buy a house?

The price of an extra bedroom in PL
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PL area, 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 | — | £295,000 | £396,000 (+34%) | £575,000 (+45%) | £775,000 (+35%) |
| Semi-detached | £199,750 | £237,500 (+19%) | £283,500 (+19%) | £370,000 (+31%) | £487,500 (+32%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
