PL5 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PL5 (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 home in PL5 1 sells for
The 2026 median for PL5 1 is £196,000, taken from 58 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £207,100, somewhat above it, as happens wherever a market carries an expensive tail.
PL5 1 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of PL5 1 sales average about £2,430 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

In cash terms the typical PL5 1 home went from £35,000 in 1995 to £196,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 158%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 6% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PL5 1 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 (+37.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−5.1%). 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) | +0.5% | −1.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | 0.0% |
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.
How many homes change hands in PL5 1
Sales per year, counted
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 58 PL5 1 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 274 sales a year before the financial crisis and 135 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.
How PL5 1 trades
This is a thin market: 58 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.
Rents around PL5 1
For renting purposes PL5 1 sits in Plymouth. The ONS average private rent there is £994 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £196,000 median purchase price, a rent of £994 a month (£11,928 a year) works out at a 6.1% 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.
PL5 1 (Crownhill): the questions that come up
Is PL5 1 (Crownhill) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in PL5 1 (Crownhill)?
Are property prices falling in PL5 1 (Crownhill)?
Will PL5 1 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 19% over five years in cash but down 6% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

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. 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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £179,000 | £200,000 (+12%) | £230,000 (+15%) | £274,750 (+19%) | £358,000 (+30%) |
| Flat | £120,000 | £152,000 (+27%) | £260,000 (+71%) | £445,000 (+71%) | — |
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.
