In cash terms the typical TR13 8 home went from £47,200 in 1995 to £239,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 133%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 26% 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 TR13 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 2003 (+33.7% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−13.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.4% | −9.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.4% | −5.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.6% | −1.2% |
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
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 56 sales completed in TR13 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 231 sales a year before the financial crisis and 131 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.
Reading the TR13 8 market
This is a thin market: 56 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. Within TR13, this sector trades 13% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around TR13 8
TR13 8 falls under Cornwall, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,003 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £691 a month here against £1,510 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cornwall
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £239,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,003 a month (£12,036 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in TR: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the TR area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £320,000 | £447,500 (+40%) | £650,000 (+45%) | £910,000 (+40%) |
