In cash terms the typical PL2 3 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £230,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 135%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2005. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PL2 3 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 (+32.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What PL2 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
How many homes change hands in PL2 3
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.
The register shows 85 PL2 3 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 242 sales a year before the financial crisis and 152 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around PL2 3
For renting purposes PL2 3 sits in Plymouth. The ONS average private rent there is £994 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £698 a month here against £1,479 for four or more bedrooms.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£994 a month is £11,928 a year, which against the £230,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.2%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: PL prices by size
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.
