In cash terms the typical PL31 2 home went from £36,000 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 219%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PL31 2 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 1996 (+30.6% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−8.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in PL31 2
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 register shows 33 PL31 2 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 155 sales a year before the financial crisis and 95 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 PL31 2
PL31 2 falls under Cornwall, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£1,003 a month is £12,036 a year, which against the £250,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.8%. 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.
What kind of market PL31 2 is
Only 33 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PL31 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

The price of an extra bedroom in PL
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.
