In cash terms the typical PL4 9 home went from £35,500 in 1995 to £205,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 166%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PL4 9 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 2003 (+29.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−8.7%). 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) | +5.1% | +2.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.8% | +0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.3% |
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.
Sales activity in PL4 9
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 36 sales completed in PL4 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 213 sales a year before the financial crisis and 98 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.
What homes rent for around PL4 9
For renting purposes PL4 9 sits in Plymouth. The ONS average private rent there is £994 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £698 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,479 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Plymouth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £205,000 median purchase price, a rent of £994 a month (£11,928 a year) works out at a 5.8% 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.
Reading the PL4 9 market
This is a thin market: 36 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.

Moving up a bedroom in PL: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PL area, 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.
| 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%) |

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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
