PL31 1 is one sector of PL31 (Bodmin): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

| 1996 | £39,000 | £82,249 | 117 |
| 1995 | £38,200 | £83,041 | 96 |
In cash terms the typical PL31 1 home went from £38,200 in 1995 to £193,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 132%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PL31 1 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 2001 (+29.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−12.7%). 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) | −9.2% | −11.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.4% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.4% |
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
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 register shows 47 PL31 1 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 211 sales a year before the financial crisis and 100 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.
Reading the PL31 1 market
This is a thin market: 47 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Within PL31, this sector trades 18% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around PL31 1
PL31 1 falls under Cornwall, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,003 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £691 a month here against £1,510 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cornwall
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £193,000 median sold price, £1,003 a month is £12,036 a year, a gross yield of 6.2%: 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.

Of everything listed here, 45% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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.

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
