PL5 3 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.

In cash terms the typical PL5 3 home went from £38,000 in 1995 to £205,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 148%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2005, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2005 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PL5 3 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 2000 (+60.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.3%). 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) | +7.6% | +5.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.9% | +0.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
PL5 3 recorded 75 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 269 sales a year before the financial crisis and 130 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.
What homes rent for around PL5 3
The local authority for PL5 3 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 £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.

The price of an extra bedroom in PL
Real sold prices by size across the PL area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
