Mullion market report TR12, Helston
The TR12 (Mullion) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 4,489 registered sales in TR12 (Helston) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 36 registered 2026 sales put the TR12 (Helston) median at £311,500, down 13% on five years earlier, with a mean of £389,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,050 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,489 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
The postcode district TR12 covering Helston, Mullion sits in Helston. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

In cash terms the typical TR12 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £311,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 120%: 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 40% 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 TR12 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 (+35.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−22.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 65% of the typed total. In 2024, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £475,000 against £255,000 for a flat, 1.9 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −12.9% | −14.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.9% | −7.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.5% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 105 TR12 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 162 sales a year before the financial crisis and 98 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 TR12
The local authority for TR12 is Cornwall, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,003 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £691 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,510 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Cornwall
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,003 a month is £12,036 a year, which against the £311,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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.
Reading the TR12 market
Only 105 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TR12 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
TR12 (Mullion): the questions that come up
Is TR12 (Mullion) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in TR12 (Mullion)?
Are property prices falling in TR12 (Mullion)?
Are TR12 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 13% over five years in cash but down 32% 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: TR prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the TR 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 | — | £320,000 | £447,500 (+40%) | £650,000 (+45%) | £910,000 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £232,500 | £275,000 (+18%) | £330,000 (+20%) | £425,000 (+29%) | £575,000 (+35%) |
| Terraced | £202,500 | £240,000 (+19%) | £294,500 (+23%) | £400,000 (+36%) | £525,000 (+31%) |
| Flat | £156,275 | £240,000 (+54%) | £363,186 (+51%) | — | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
