| 1996 | £66,000 | £139,191 | 154 |
| 1995 | £66,000 | £143,474 | 111 |
In cash terms the typical PL9 8 home went from £66,000 in 1995 to £321,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 124%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PL9 8 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 (+45.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−13.0%). 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) | −5.5% | −7.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −3.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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 PL9 8
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 72 PL9 8 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 222 sales a year over the last five years against 154 before the financial crisis. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around PL9 8
For renting purposes PL9 8 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.
£994 a month is £11,928 a year, which against the £321,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: PL prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PL area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
