In cash terms the typical TR26 2 home went from £54,500 in 1995 to £301,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 154%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2023; the current median sits about 40% below that. Someone who bought at the 2023 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the TR26 2 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 (+32.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −15.8% | −17.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −4.6% | −9.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.4% | −3.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.4% |
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.
Sales activity in TR26 2
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
TR26 2 recorded 46 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 194 sales a year before the financial crisis and 104 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 TR26 2 trades
This is a thin market: 46 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
What tenants pay around TR26 2
The local authority for TR26 2 is Cornwall, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £301,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,003 a month (£12,036 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.

What is for sale in TR26 right now
This is what you could actually buy today: 184 homes currently on the market from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole TR26 district, not just TR26 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
35% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Trewartha Close, Carbis Bay, St. Ives...
- Draycott Terrace, St. Ives, Cornwall,...
- Talland Road, St. Ives, TR26
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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. 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%) |

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
