TR13 prices by floor area
Measured by floor area, the last five years of TR13 sales average about £3,650 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

In cash terms the typical TR13 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £276,200 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 154%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 25% 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 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 (+39.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−10.5%). 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) | −3.1% | −5.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −0.9% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 41% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £380,500 against £142,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

How many homes change hands in TR13
Sales per year, counted
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 220 sales completed in TR13. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 439 sales a year before the financial crisis and 263 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.
How TR13 trades
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.
Rents around TR13
For renting purposes TR13 sits in Cornwall. The ONS average private rent there is £1,003 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £276,200 median sold price, £1,003 a month is £12,036 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Moving up a bedroom in TR: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TR area. 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.

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