What a square metre costs in PL29

In cash terms the typical PL29 home went from £62,000 in 1995 to £340,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 152%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 52% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PL29 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 2000 (+57.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−21.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What PL29 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −20.0% | −21.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −9.3% | −13.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.7% | −2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 50% of the typed total. In 2000, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £145,500 against £52,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Sales activity in PL29
Sales per year, counted
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 last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 19 PL29 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 34 sales a year before the financial crisis and 16 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 kind of market PL29 is
Only 19 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PL29 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. PL29 sits 6 of 35 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
What tenants pay around PL29
The local authority for PL29 is Cornwall, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,003 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £691 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,510, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Cornwall
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £340,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,003 a month (£12,036 a year) works out at a 3.5% 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.

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%) |
| Terraced | £179,000 | £200,000 (+12%) | £230,000 (+15%) | £274,750 (+19%) | £358,000 (+30%) |
| Flat | £120,000 | £152,000 (+27%) | £260,000 (+71%) | £445,000 (+71%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
