Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the typical home in PL4 0 (Plymouth) sold for £165,000 in 2026, the median of 22 registered sales, down 4% on five years earlier. The mean was £180,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,620 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 2,263 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.
PL4 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PL4 (Plymouth). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What a square metre costs in PL4 0

In cash terms the typical PL4 0 home went from £30,000 in 1995 to £165,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 153%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 61% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PL4 0 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 (+245.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2003 (−45.4%). 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) | −15.4% | −17.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | −0.2% | −2.9% |
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.
How many homes change hands in PL4 0
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.
The register shows 22 PL4 0 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 112 sales a year before the financial crisis and 41 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 rental side of PL4 0
The local authority for PL4 0 is Plymouth, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £994 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £698 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,479, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Plymouth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £165,000 median sold price, £994 a month is £11,928 a year, a gross yield of 7.2%: 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.
How PL4 0 trades
Only 22 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PL4 0 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. Within PL4, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 4% over five years in cash but down 24% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in PL: the cost
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%) |

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.
