In cash terms the typical PL27 home went from £52,200 in 1995 to £332,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 193%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 24% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PL27 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 2003 (+28.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−12.4%). 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, 45% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £460,000 against £150,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.3% | −8.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 176 sales completed in PL27. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 326 sales a year before the financial crisis and 203 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around PL27
PL27 falls under Cornwall, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,003 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Cornwall
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £332,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,003 a month (£12,036 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.

What another bedroom costs in PL
Real sold prices by size across the PL area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £295,000 | £396,000 (+34%) | £575,000 (+45%) | £775,000 (+35%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
