In cash terms the typical TR26 1 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £368,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 239%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 27% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TR26 1 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 (+34.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What TR26 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.7% | −4.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.6% | −6.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.7% | −1.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 25 TR26 1 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 129 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 a year over the last five. 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.
The rental side of TR26 1
The local authority for TR26 1 is Cornwall, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,003 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £691 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,510, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Cornwall
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £368,500 median sold price, £1,003 a month is £12,036 a year, a gross yield of 3.3%: 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.
How TR26 1 trades
This is a thin market: 25 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 TR26, this sector trades 15% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Is TR26 1 (St Ives) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in TR26 1 (St Ives)?
Will TR26 1 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 8% over five years in cash but down 27% 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.

"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

Bedroom by bedroom: TR prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TR area. 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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
