| 1996 | £36,000 | £75,922 | 453 |
| 1995 | £36,100 | £78,476 | 404 |
In cash terms the typical PL2 home went from £36,100 in 1995 to £210,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 168%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 6% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PL2 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 2002 (+30.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−5.3%). 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) | +10.5% | +7.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.3% | −0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 61% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £305,200 against £115,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
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 418 PL2 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 772 sales a year before the financial crisis and 427 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 shape of the PL2 market
Among the 35 measurable districts of its area, PL2 ranks 32 by median price: towards the affordable end.
Rents around PL2

Average monthly rent by size, Plymouth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £210,000 median sold price, £994 a month is £11,928 a year, a gross yield of 5.7%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in PL: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the PL area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
