Lipson market report PL4 6, Plymouth
The standing PL4 6 (Lipson) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 3,278 sales registered with HM Land Registry in PL4 6 (Plymouth) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 27 registered 2026 sales put the PL4 6 (Plymouth) median at £180,000, up 10% on five years earlier, with a mean of £189,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,160 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,278 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
PL4 6 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.

In cash terms the typical PL4 6 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £180,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 84%: 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 32% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PL4 6 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 2005 (+66.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2003 (−23.4%). 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) | −13.8% | −15.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.9% | −1.8% |
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 PL4 6
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.
PL4 6 recorded 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 181 sales a year before the financial crisis and 62 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.
The rental side of PL4 6
The local authority for PL4 6 is Plymouth, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £994 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £698 a month here against £1,479 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Plymouth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £180,000 median purchase price, a rent of £994 a month (£11,928 a year) works out at a 6.6% 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 kind of market PL4 6 is
Only 27 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PL4 6 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. Against the PL4 district median, PL4 6 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

Moving up a bedroom in PL: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the PL area. 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.
