House prices per square metre in PL5 2

In cash terms the typical PL5 2 home went from £43,800 in 1995 to £211,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 122%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 6% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PL5 2 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 (+42.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.9%). 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 year (since 2025) | +1.3% | −1.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.7% | +0.8% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +5.0% | +0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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 PL5 2
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.
PL5 2 recorded 68 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 166 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.
What tenants pay around PL5 2
PL5 2 falls under Plymouth, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£994 a month is £11,928 a year, which against the £211,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.6%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

PL5's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 14 homes at the moment, listed by 3 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole PL5 district, not just PL5 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 7% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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.

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. 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 | £262,625 | £300,000 (+14%) | £347,000 (+16%) | £435,000 (+25%) | £584,500 (+34%) |
| Semi-detached | £180,000 | £220,000 (+22%) | £242,000 (+10%) | £280,000 (+16%) | £332,500 (+19%) |
| Terraced | £162,500 | £190,000 (+17%) | £210,000 (+11%) | £260,000 (+24%) | £283,000 (+9%) |
| Flat | £112,750 | £137,500 (+22%) | £165,000 (+20%) | £249,000 (+51%) | £317,500 (+28%) |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
