| 1995 | £38,000 | £82,606 | 129 |
In cash terms the typical PL4 7 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 142%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PL4 7 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 (+26.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−13.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.9% | −8.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −1.0% |
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
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 49 sales completed in PL4 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 297 sales a year before the financial crisis and 108 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.
How PL4 7 trades
Only 49 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PL4 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around PL4 7
The local authority for PL4 7 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 £200,000 median sold price, £994 a month is £11,928 a year, a gross yield of 6.0%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: PL prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the PL area. 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%) |
